I bought new high end firewire and it's a tad better. There is a loss of color. You can get real close and its clear at about 1-1/2 inches.better than my other cams. I like the IR on this. I only gave 3 stars for Picture Quality only for cpature to Computer. I use several Video Editors with the same loss of color in all.Oh the Macro is awesome.
This camera has very good video and sound quality. A long lasting battery life, and the timelapse mode is awesome.
I took it to the Grand Canyon, so yes, it was subjected to some dust. My older Sony camera (I think a PC-100; it was made in 2000) took much rougher treatment with no problems, and, frankly, still has better picture quality. I've had the DCR-HC62 for a few months. But about 1/4 of the takes have a horizontal banding, indicating a problem with the tape drive.
One for personal film work and the other for time lapse. The camera works so well I ended up getting two. Add filters and creativity you can do a lot with this camera but it is also small enough that it is great for carrying around with you without getting in the way. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R17CBN0JK821ET This camera has great features but I mostly purchased it for work with time lapse. I posted a video of one of my time lapse videos and have this camera always filming more. Night vision is pretty good and with added infrared lights you can get some nice night shots.
I actually would give it four stars but can't change my original post. For some reason it only allows you to transfer video from tape using the I-Link connection. The camera does everything that I want. My only quibble is with the software that comes with the camera. Other than that I am very happy with the camera.
