The purchase of HDC-MDH1 was my best deal in 2011:
Excellent pictures in HD (1920x1080) and SD (576i).
And the battery of cancorder lives more than 5 hours
(Standard definition in PAL).

As a professional photographer i always liked video, but i'll never wanted to spend a fortune. So i bought this camera and i just love it! Really easy to use, you don't need to be a pro at all to take some awesome movie shots! I say almost, because, let face it, its not THE pro cam. Its a great start, thats for sure! Zoom is not very quickly, but hey... for this price... :). On of the most amazing feature is, the camera is very very light, i don't even thought there was a cam inside the box.

Here are my very first takes using my new cam:

The Bad...On Off swirch no detent moves too easily can turnoff accidentally. Hand held operation is less than comfortable.
THE GOOD.. Steady shot feature is very smooth glides from one position to the next. Battery life excellent. Auto focus fast and accurate. White balance and colour rendering very
satisfactory.
Summing Up: Value for money, better thsn expected.

Big, cheap, easy to use

I have just shot my first HD wedding video with the MDH1. I am very happy with the image quality, which compares very favorably with footage from my faithful Sony MiniDV camera. I used a 16Gb SDHC card which allowed four hours of shooting at HX (third highest) resolution.

The camera doesn't really sit properly on my shoulder, mainly due to the eye piece design, but it's not a major problem due to the very low weight. The five hour battery actually gives about three hours of stop-start recording and it's not possible to recharge the battery while the camera is using the AC power supply.

For weddings, you'll need to buy a decent shotgun microphone as the supplied external mike is not directional and is greatly effected by touching the camera cases. The combination optical/electronic image stabilizer works brilliantly, and the second accessory shoe is very handy for a video light. The convenience of non-linear recording allows you to review any scene by touching its thumbnail on the LCD screen.

The supplied HD Writer AE 2.5S software will allow you to organise and trim your clips and author your video to DVD, but has no audio capabilities, such as adding a music track. If you intend to buy a video camera which records in AVCHD format, you will need an aftermarket editing program from Pinnacle, VideoStudio etc.

Overall, I'm happy with the MDH1. It's the modern day equivalent of the Panasonic MS-4 from the early nineties: Big, cheap, reliable and robust.
