Nemmy Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Just got this today - I can't wait for it to finish charging! It's smaller than Robb's reccommended HC30.
Nemmy Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 Some pics. OMFG ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!! *drool* It's sleek and sexy!
CoasterFanatic Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Nice portable camera. While I see the convenience of a small camera, it seems like holding it steady would be a b**ch. Am I wrong?
Nemmy Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 No. I've been testing it - not only does it come with SteadyShot Plus or whatever, but it stayed pretty steady while I was rollerblading earlier. Yes, I was carrying the camera while doing that. It wasn't like I was doing any tricks!
CoasterCrazy Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I have the HC40 and I have trouble holding it steady when I take POVs. I wish the camera were heavier.
Angry_Gumball Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Nice camera! Looks pretty cool and easy to use.
SixFlagsTexas Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Would you recommend it? Cause I have been looking at a few cameras, and I can't find the right one.
Martyn Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 It's smaller than Robb's reccommended HC30. It's actually slightly bigger, and more plasticy. Still a lovely little camcorder though.
Hattuchili Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Would you recommend it? Cause I have been looking at a few cameras, and I can't find the right one. ^same here. I am looking for a new one. I think it is not easy to finde a good one (for a good price)! --Soeren
SharkTums Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 It's a hard call with these cameras getting smaller and smaller. For myself, I love the new smaller Sony's and I feel like I can hold them just fine and steady, but I also see Robb's point. If you have bigger hands holding something small like that still can be a lot more tricky. I believe it's also a Physics issue. Doesn't a heavier object remain at rest (ie steady) easier than some light camera bouncing around? It's a trade off...you want something smaller to carry around but you also want quality footage. We'll be bringing both the small and smaller cameras on our Europe trip and see how they work out. Elissa "stupid cameras" Alvey
CoasterFanatic Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I am still luggin around this dinosaur and i love it. http://www.dvspot.com/reviews/sony/trv17-review/index.shtml // Please, Please fix the image uploader.
Nemmy Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 Elissa, it's perfect for me. It's not the heaviest thing in the world, but it's not a feather, either.
Angry_Gumball Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I'm not planning on buying a video camera any time soon because of 1) I'm now broke after buying myself a new laptop and 2) My digital camera has a record feature (Yeah, yeah, not high quality videos) but it satisfies me. I haven't taken it to a park yet as I'm really anxious to try it out. I'm a bit wishy-washy on taking POVs with it but knowing me, I'll most likely give it a shot. Videos will already be compressed somewhat for Internet usage.
coastercrutchfield Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Wow cameras were soo "different" back then!
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 ^ Back then? I'm still using that camera and it still works great and takes great video. Although I am hoping to upgrade to an HD Camcorder sometime in the next few months.
