Fierce Test.......2007-02-09
Purchasing this camcorder was a nervous experience, what with several males all going abroad with a host of activities ranging from rock climbing to swimming with sharks, this baby was put to paces, and I thought the camcorder would be the first casualty.
A month later and the only scratch on the MV930 was a result of it falling out of the hand luggage on the aeroplane.
If your looking at camcorders with a small budget then the MV930 is for you, as you will get value for money. With the Camcorder being so compact and fitting snugly into your hands, it does detect slight movement of the hand and this can make the footage unsteady, so I suggest crouching down whilst filming using this and using your knees as an arm rest.
I used several high quality camcorders of other peoples whilst travelling and the MV930 couldn't match them, but then again the camcorders I used retail at £700+ here on Amazon, so being 3x times cheaper, its the best for a small budget. Also if purchasing, avoid using the lcd screen whilst filming as it drains the battery, I suggest buying an extra battery with your order.
Pros: Price, ease of use, looks & feels high-end (even though its not), zoom remains highly focused, in heavy sunlight still produced quality footage, in night-time still produced quality footage. very small and light (does not get in the way)
Cons: no DV cable provided, maybe to small (detects slight movement of the hand/body and shakes too much) or maybe weshould all have a degree in filming?
Great entry-level camcorder.......2007-01-12
I've had this camera for a month now and I'm very happy with it.
The case feels solid, if a little plasticy, and it has a good weight to it considering its small size. It's easy to use with nicely placed controls, a large clear screen and simple menus. It has easy and professional modes of operation, selectable with a switch, but easy mode simply removes various menu items, some of which are quite useful.
Picture quality is generally excellent with vibrant colours and crisp edges, so long as the light is good. Indoors or in low light the image does become a little noisy but it's still more than adequate. The image stabilisation does a great job compensating for shaky hand-held shots, particularly on high zoom levels but it's worth turning this off for tripod shots as it does reduce the resolution slightly.
It has a useful 25x optical zoom and the zoom lever gives very precise control, allowing for slow and steady zooms or fast adjustments. After a rapid change in zoom it can take several seconds for the autofocus to catch up, so it's best to keep the movements quite gentle.
Audio is functional but nothing special. In quiet situations the tape motor is quite audible on the captured video. There is no connection for an external microphone so unfortunately you're stuck with this.
Transferring the footage to a PC is child's play. I quickly ditched the supplied software in favour of Windows Movie Maker. A couple of clicks rewinds and captures the entire tape, chopping it up into individual clips ready for editing. The transfer happens in real time, so a 60 minute tape takes 60 minutes to transfer to PC. The footage arrives as AVI at a native resolution of 720x576, which is stretched during playback to 1024x576 for the correct aspect ratio.
One word of warning. Although the specs list USB2.0 connectivity, they don't mention that this is for still image transfer only. Video transfer still requires a firewire connection, as I discovered to my annoyance only after receiving the camera. Luckily I was able to get a NISIS firewire card from amazon for under £5 which does the job wonderfully.
Overall, this is a great little camera. Image quality is much better than I expected for the price tag. Sadly the audio isn't up to the same standard, but for me it's still worth 5 stars.
