    Great older model HDV camera in a smaller form factor

    Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    Excellent camera for working in tight spaces or crowded areas. Due to its size, it is also very good as a JIB mounted camera. Good complement to the larger HVR-HD1000 that we use. It uses the lower resolution 1440 x 1080i HDV, but we find that adequate for what we do. Also the 24p feature allows truly professional looking, film like videos.
