Sharp VL-H860U Viewcam Hi-8 Camcorder Review

This incredible, top of the line, camcorder from Sharp gives you all the features you need in a high resolution, high-end camcorder. You will be pleased with the crisp clear resolution of the Hi8 format while the big, bright 3" Color LCD Screen allows you to see the action as soon as it happens. The monitor is coated with a special anti-fingerprint resin to help reduce fingerprints and make it easier to wipe them off. Hi8 extends the performance of standard 8mm format to near-professional heights. The Hi8 circuit allows the ViewCam to record a video signal with 400 lines of resolution, 40% better than conventional 8 mm. This gives you an amazingly vivid picture with superior color resolution and greater detail. The D.I.S. circuit senses movement of the user holding the camera and helps to reduce image shake and jitter, delivering a more stable picture thus giving your videos a cleaner, more professional look and feel. 270 Degree Twist Operation allows the flexibility needed for shooting from different angles. Shooting from the waist so that kids are taped at eye level is a snap and it's just as easy to shoot over a crowd by angling the screen down.
