    This is everything you want and need with an HD Video Camera. It's also very User Friendly, with an image quality , audio quality, and ease of use.

    This camera has a boat load of user features . It's very User friendly, from changing settings with an easy Touch Screen,to Everything that I added to this Camera, (Mic, Light, etc..) I was truly blown away that this Camera, plugged into my Max G5, and Macbook Pro , to be able to Capture video, via Fire Wire, and use Final Cut Pro X. I like that the Battery charges on the camera, or Camera can be used, by just plugin into to an outlet. It's awesome using the editing screen, and only uploading what you want. This is truly a professional HD Camera, with Video& Audio Quality. There is truly nothing that I don't like, about this camera. It can even take a little abuse, because it's built so well.

    Old technology but still works with proper interfaces

    This camera is not really fully digital as I assumed. It does not write the digital video files to solid state memory but instead actually has a tiny video cassette recorder on board. As such, it is really old analog technology but ti will produce a 1440 X 1080 X 30 m2t stream through an IEEE 1394 Firewire interface. The only way to get this into a computer so it can be stored as a digital file is through a 1394 computer interface running Vegas Movie Studio 14. It does not come ready to plug and play like USB or for conventional SD card digital storage. Good Luck

    Great quality in a small package with just a few issues

    I bought this camera because I wanted a high quality picture from a camcorder that was small enough to carry around. I was not disappointed. Overall I like the camera. The sound is good, image is sharp with lots of detail when shot under conditions with good light, and the camera is small enough so it wont weigh you down or make your hand tire from carrying it. Now for the bad... Almost all the adjustments are in the touch screen, although there are a lot of options so if you like shooting manual, you can. The steady cam (anti-shake) is just OK. My shoulder mount Sony 2000MC's Steady cam is amazing, and much better than the A1U's. It uses tape and for some reason when importing HD video into my computer, the camera seems to have a mind of its own and imports when it feels like, although ...

    I'd buy this again if it was stolen, the smaller size is a big plus

    I knew this was a small camera from seeing pictures but, it did look professional. The HVR A1U may have only one chip but it's a great chip. The only set back that I found with this camera, and I didn't realize it because I was so impressed with all the other features before I bought it, was it only goes down to 7 lux. If I remember correctly, at the time I may have even realized it but bought it anyway. From shooting my pets to scenery it's great..."out doors", that is. In house lighting and darker situations it doesn't do that well. I got it "mainly" for ghost hunting since it has the night vision only the I.R. light covers just a small area with light opposed to my older Sony TRV 103 which does great with that stuff. Well the 103 broke down, it skips when play back is initiated. The A1U ...

    Still a great camera 2017!

    I've owned this camera for about 14 years now I guess. Wow, getting old! Anyway I was blown away at the image quality I got for this camera and it still holds up well today. I am a professional videographer and own many cameras including a Canon C100 but for outdoor shoots I still use it from time to time. It's not all that good in low light situations but if you have light, wow! I would even go so far as to say, the image I get from this camera will rival or exceed may of the so called "4K" consumer cameras you can get today. I paid around $2500 for it back in the day, if I remember right, and now you can find them for a couple hundred bucks? It was worth it then and well worth it now. I wouldn't part with mine for anything, it's one of my all time favorites.
