I am using this camera in SD broadcasting, where DVCAM is still unmatched. Satisfied with every aspect of this cam, well balanced; no shaky clips even after long period of hand filming, great 20x Zeiss lens, performs well in low light....definitely great value for the price.
Problems:
No problems. Happy customer!

Review: Sony HVR-V1P HDV Camcorder PALBy Ctenotus
from Perth, Western Australia on 2009-09-11
This camcorder is fantastic! Its 20X Zeiss lens is sharp over the whole
focal range, it has most of the critical controls as external buttons,
which makes adjustment easy, and it is fairly light (around 1.5 kg),
making it ideal for shooting HDV video while travelling, for sports or
wildlife videography. For users with experience of other models of
camcorder, the Sony HVR-V1P HDV is easy to adapt to, and easy to use. I
upgraded to the HVR-V1P from the much smaller Sony HVR-A1P, which I like
a lot and still use. The HVR-V1P is better designed - easy access for
tape insertion and removal, as well as the external rather than mainly
touch screen controls of the A1P greatly increase ease of use and overall
functionality. Picture quality is fantastic; my only beef is that sound
quality from the supplied microphone is only average - I may replace it.

Sony HVR-V1E or PBy Roger
from London on 2009-07-21
This is an excellent camcorder generally, reasonably light weight, with a
very good lens. The HD images in either interlaced or progressive scan
have great resolution with no noise. I would give it four or five stars.
One small complaint: the supplied microphone is only very average, and it
is stereo only with two microphone sources.
