Camcorder Reviews

Camera take exceptional pictures, has high quality in Hi8 mode. You can purchase long life batteries (>2500 MaH) that allow you to record for extremely long periods even using the LCD screen as your viewfinder. The image stabilization is very good, allowing videos to be hand held, but yielding a very stable picture. The internal lens cap feature is very nice, out of the way when shooting, yet nothing to lose. The resolution on the direct viewfinder is exceptional, and even though it is B/W it is very usable combined with the color LCD for playback. Having an internal viewfinder is extremely useful in bright light situations where the LCD is washed out/hard to see.

Overall an exceptional product, with a very good price. Has held up well in trips to Europe, Western USA, and New England, as well as for family gatherings.

When I purchased this product I was looking primarily at Sonys, but the salesman suggested if I wasn't interested in digital at this time to give the Hitachi a look. I did. For the price the quality can't be beat. The picture is crystal clear and the zoom capabilties are incredible. This is a great camera to record the family outing and dub tapes for the rest of the family. I still am amazed at how clear this camera is, and easy to operate! Good choice.

We gambled on this Hitachi package because its description and photographs appeared to fit the FAMILY Vs. Unitied Artists FILMAKER category, seeking a "User Friendly" model. The gamble paid the following dividends. A CamCorder that is light, simple to operate without requiring the 3 eyed camera-person. 1 to film and 2 to consult the owners manual. This model comes with a lo light feature Vs. built in lights on other models. Our lo light filming in both indoor and outdoor settings proved positive with "tru color" imagery without the lamp glare that is common with the built ins. The Autofocus feature will require more attention, as it is very positive to the dead-center subject rule, especially involving indoor moving targets i.e. 5 year old grandsons. One feature not advertised was this CamCorder's 2.5" Flip out screen: its COLOR! The camera bag is attractive and roomy. Tripod is ok, but its a lightweight model. We're Very Happy with our USER FRIENDLY HITACHI.

The camera is nice and small and has quite a few nice features. It zooms far and the lcd display is nice. The downfall is the black and white view finder and the quality of the recording. But you get what you pay for and for the price i paid it was a great deal.

This is great!I love it!I got it at a store near my home and I use on trips and everything!!!It's a great product except the battery ran low quite often for me.

The Hitachi VM7500LA VHS Camcorder is extremely impressive. It's easy to use, not very expensive, has lots of cool features & gives a clear, crisp picture. My only complaint is that the battery doesn't last very long, so you have to plug it into the wall. Overall though, I love it!!

This is one of the most versatile cams I ever owned. Eventhough
it is big and probably this is the problem with most people
whoe like small and easily carried cams, it is better than any cam I have ever worked with and I won more than 4. It is stable,
it has plenty of goodies to go along, a very nice zoom for its
age and costs much less than similar handy cams. I bouight in
USA when I studied there and my only problem is that I need
now to change NTSC formats to PAL (I am in Europe now) but the
quality of sound and image is superb.
