Sony DCR-SR100 Camcorder Review
|
A figure is emergent. JVC
places a creation out on the market, one that everybody desires. The
spicy fresh thing. Then Sony, hooking on the chance, jumps over JVC with
a somewhat improved edition. It took place with high account, and it is
taking place again now. Two years before JVC brought out their hard disk
drive (HDD) Everio line. This year in January Sony brought in the
DCR-SR100. And we have granted them acknowledgment; this is a powerful
camcorder, and definitely more beneficial than the JVC rivals. |

Features
As camcorders go, the
DCR-SR100 (USD999) bears pretty good still characteristics. It shoots
still photographs in JPEG format onto the hard disc drive(HDD) in two
quality forms Fine and Standard and in four resolution sizes: these
sizes are 2016 x 1512 (3megapixel), 1600 x 1200 (1.9megapixel), 640 x
480 (0.3megapixel) in 4:3 aspect ratio, and one size in 16:9 aspect
ratio, in the dimensions of 2016 x 1152 (2.3megapixel).

A burst feature shoots a
series of stills in just half (0.5) second time interval. The bigger the
resolution size, the fewer stills you can capture just three images at
the size of 2016 x 1512. It has separate exposure bracketing option,
which takes three images in a line, one in your selected exposure
adjustment, one a little bit underexposed, and one to some extent
overexposed. It is a nice function to practice in an emergency if you
are not certain how the photograph will look.

The entire range of manual
and automatic functions is received in video mode. That commands include
white balance setting, exposure setting, program AE, spot meter, and
spot focus adjustments. A flash, placed straight over the lens, can be
adjusted to high, normal, and low levels, and also presents red-eye
reduction feature. These extra characteristics are beneficial, but not
so fine to sell the camcorder as a substitute for a dedicated still
photograph camera.
The JVC GZ-MG77 (USD468)
takes still images equal to the 1632 x 1224 (2.2megapixel) onto the
30gigabyte hard disc drive (HDD) or an SD card. It also features a flash
utility and corresponding range of manual functions, with the
distinguished enhancement of shutter speed control. Last year's release
of MG70 (USD500) provided ISO adjustments of Auto, 80, and 160. We
arent still certain whether the MG77 will feature them also. Check out
the CamcorderInfo.com shortly for the broad review.
Performance
The still performance of
the DCR-SR100 is approximately similar to the result given by the Sony
DCR-HC96 and DCR-DVD405. All featuring the same imager, they all
maximize at the size of 2016 x 1512, with a maximum widescreen still of
2016 x 1152. The image is very brilliant (measured up to the 640 x 480
video results), except the colors, which are really washed out. There
was a tendency in some color panels to produce slopes of color instead
than level colors.
The Panasonic SDR-S100
performed a little better, especially the in the case of reds and
yellows. The maximum resolution is just 1280 x 960.The SR100 have the
plus with a sharper stills. Neither results brilliant color, but color
levels are much simple than apparent sharpness to control in Photoshop.
The GZ-MG70, at resolution
size of 1600 x 1200, gave very much richer colors, however the color
pallet was not even; it tended very much strongly towards the blues.
