Nice effort Tedster but the point I am trying to make is where is the top quality video footage through the WDV700?
Surely a professionally run business would want to promote it's product in the best light, no pun intended. So if it required, a bank of Bosch illuminators and sophisticated through the lens camera equipment could be used to produce quality video, no harm done unless false claims were made as to level of said illumination and recording. The constant claims that video quality on recorded videos is not representative of actual view through the lens of a unit is ok for us lesser mortals but is it ok for a professional business promoting it's wares?
I have seen Darren Rodgers of Lardy Vision fame castigated if not castrated on other forums for "cheating" with the videos of the prototype which evolved into the WDV700 due to his use of superior illumination and recording equipment. Darren's videos from three years ago were stunning and as a retired business person I feel that is what is missing today. Combine that with intermittent customer service issues and we arrive at the present situation. I have no axe to grind with Clive, quite the opposite in fact, but I am disappointed with the present state of affairs. Rant over time for a nightcap
