Excellent Camera, Great Features I bought this as a companion to my Sony DSR 200A almost two years ago. Its been a great addtion for two-camera shoots when color temperatures need to match. Both cameras shoot 16:9 (but not HD), which clients have asked for. Its great for interviews, spontaneous action, b-roll and so much more. Its low-light capabilities have produced some amazing shots to many a client's delight ("how'd you do that??").

The one drawback is that it is not a grab-and-shoot camera. Its automatic feat... –Push Button Gadgetfrom Amazon.com

Excellent camera I have owned my PD170 for about a year now. I bought it to replace my VX2000 (another great camera).

Pros:
1. Excellent quality images for a non HD camera.
2. XLR connectors.
3. Compact size with excellent weight for steady one handed shots.
4. The low light ability of this camera is second to none.
5. Professional look.

Cons:
1. Not a shoulder mounted camera.

I shoot mostly weddings, events and indoor theatre productions.

One of the greats in prosumer DV history... Clean, beautiful images. Rugged construction. A fine run'n'gun videographic instrument, although after a year now I wish that I had gone with the shoulder cam version, the DSR-250, but that's another story...

Likes:

Wide range of shutterspeeds (1/4-1/10000).
Clean gain up to 9 or 12 db
and very light sensitive to boot.
Simultaneous B/W Viewfinder and color LCD.
Fairly sharp B/W Viewfinder, a must-have feature, imo.

Dislikes:

A few misplaced and unnecessary... –Shawn Mielkefrom Amazon.com
