Customer Feedback :
You can’t rest the camera on your shoulder, but the image stabilizer helps and the grip and buttons are all well designed and easy to reach. This camera feels like a terrific tool that can do whatever you need and the picture quality–even on Auto–is beautiful. Having the two XLR terminals will make a big difference, too. The versatility and design really meets such a variety of needs–way too much machine/expense for “home video” (it’s not the kind of camera people forget is pointing at them), but great if you want to shoot training films, web videos, independent films.
