A perfect machine for editing and playing of DV and HDV footage. Replaces
the HDV camcorder I used earlier for that purpose, which was bad for the
camcorder (not designed for frequent play, fast wind/rewind). The
HVR-M25A is sturdy and provides stable picture and sound quality. The
small viewing screen is very handy in use, providing extra features such
as large time code and VU-display.
