User Ratings & Reviews:

The HVR-HD1000U Digital High Definition HDV camcorder features a shoulder mount design and matte black color, designed to meet the growing demand of HDV users for mobility and professional appearance. With premium design characteristics and high-definition 1080i recording capability, the HDV-HD1000U is ideal for weddings, corporate communications, colleges, universities, sporting events, and working videographers on a budget.

A built-in down-converter creates DV material, perfect for standard DVD productions. Plus, a special still photo mode is ideal for producing DVD cases and making wedding photo albums. The HVR-HD1000U camcorder can adapt to a wide range of shooting situations and features a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 10x optical zoom, similar to that found on higher end professional HDV camcorders. The T* lens coating suppresses unwanted reflections and faithfully reproduces colors for professional-looking results.

The "Smooth Slow Rec" function of the HVR-HD1000U camcorder allows users to perform slow-motion playback by capturing images at four times faster than the normal field rate. The Super SteadyShot (optical) feature of the HVR-HD1000U camcorder utilizes an image stabilization system using an active optical lens method that functions without any deterioration in image quality.

Additionally, the Super NightShot function of the HVR-HD1000U camcorder allows the videographer to record objects in zero lux light levels for night-time monitoring and surveillance. Feature rich and affordably priced, the HVR-HD1000U High Definition shoulder mount HDV camcorder brings affordable HD capabilities to a broad range of pro shooters.

Kata's RC-1 Pro Rain Cover is designed for full sized camcorders with the battery and lens installed. It is fabricated from waterproof material, water tight zippers, seam seal technology and features crystal clear TPU panels on the camera’s control side. The cover slips quickly over the camera to protect it from sudden showers. It is secured by a quick pull of drawstrings. Stiff polypropylene hood can be adjusted to fit a variety of lens sizes.
