"It's too expensive for the results one obtains."
Pros: It's a simple camera to operate and it has a few interesting features like the End Search and the adjustable eyepiece assembly.
Cons: The camera is not what I wanted in terms of an alternative to an expensive professional camera. Strictly an amateur's toy.
Summary: It is very cumbersome to operate. The on/off switch is awkward to use, to say the least, and the zoom control is practically uncontrollable if you want a slow, smooth zoom. Loading and unloading is a pain when you have a tripod mounted camera because you must remove the camera to replace a tape. Although the manual says there is a time code available, I have been unable to find it. Also, you can only check time code by using the remote control unit. As others have noticed, there is an audible hum from the motor and a loud "click" from the zoom when it reaches its full extent. I have also experienced dust particles inside the lens that glow like rain drops at certain angles with the sun. As a former professional cameraman I am deeply disappointed by this camera.
