Boston, MA (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) November 9, 2005 – 2005 has been an attention-grabbing year for the camcorder industry, with technology developments that have pushed all boundaries and exceeded consumer expectations, and CamcorderInfo.com has been hard at work reviewing and analyzing every model on the market. To make shopping for home electronics easier this holiday season, publisher Robin Liss and CamcorderInfo.com announce their annual selections for the best camcorders of the year\uff97the CamInfo Select 2005. <\/P><\/p>\n
\uff93The year 2005 has been one of the most eventful periods in the camcorder industry, and we have worked diligently to evaluate each model using our standardized testing methods and objective review practices to arrive at our product recommendations, the CamInfo Select 2005,\uff92 said Robin Liss, Internet entrepreneur and founder of CamcorderInfo.com. \uff93In the past year, we\uffb4ve seen the rapid rise of DVD camcorders and the first consumer-friendly high-definition models and non-tape-based camcorders become popular. We\uffb4ve reviewed all our testing data, debated and deliberated, and we feel confident that our choices represent the best of the best in home video. No consumers should be without this buying guide when they drive to the electronics store or log onto the web to do their shopping.\uff92<\/P><\/p>\n
CamInfo Select 2005\uffb4s sought-after recognition for \uff93Camcorder of the Year\uff92 goes to the Sony HDR-HC1, the world\uffb4s first affordable high-definition camcorder that breaks new technological ground yet comes with an accessible price tag.<\/P><\/p>\n
\uff93When we got our hands on the Sony HDR-HC1 we were floored by the stunning beauty of the pictures it produced,\uff92 said Liss. \uff93The colors were rich and well defined, and the sharpness was out of this world. The HDR-HC1 has finally opened up the world of HD to the masses.\uff92 <\/P><\/p>\n
No matter how experienced the CamcorderInfo.com reviewers are, the novice user is never far from their minds and Sony, which has made simplicity the hallmark of its camcorders, earns their nod as the manufacturer offering the \uff93Best Ease of Use Product Line.\uff92 \uff93One of the biggest surprises of the year was our favorite DVD camcorder, Sony\uffb4s DCR-DVD403. The DCR-DVD403 shattered everyone\uffb4s preconceptions about DVD camcorders , delivering remarkable quality and ease of use together in a DVD cam \uff96a package we thought we\uffb4d never see,\uff92 said Liss. <\/P><\/p>\n
According to the staff of CamcorderInfo.com, it\uffb4s never been a more satisfying or exciting time to be in the market for a camcorder, with innovations across all brands. \uff93JVC\uffb4s MiniDV GR-X5 camcorder and its sister, the flash media camcorder Everio GZ-MC500, also broke the barriers of what we thought was possible,\uff92 said Liss. \uff93The X5 produced the best still photos we\uffb4ve seen out of a camcorder and the MC500 brought a new level of quality to the non-tape-based arena. And we can\uffb4t forget Canon\uffb4s Optura 600, which, although a later release, packed performance and quality into the matchbox style.\uff92<\/P><\/p>\n
Panasonic, meanwhile, lands the accolade of \uff93Best Manual Control Product Line\uff92 as both its low- and high-end camcorders boast a huge range of shutter speeds, aperture settings, white balance, and gain control. \uff93Once again, we saw Panasonic sweep the mid-range camcorder categories with a great camcorder line that mixes high-end features into the consumer-friendly price range,\uff92 said Liss.<\/P><\/p>\n
