PRODUCT EVALUATIONS
..
Canon's
Model VM-El continued
.. .
Grayscale
trace shows some sag and
its
top is exaggerated, but
this was not more
than was expected.
R-f unit has a
vhf output and separate
video
/audio inputs and outputs.
jc-, 0OKNZ
Audio reproduction
at 2 (upper tace)
and
0.5 (lower trace)
kHz /division is not
es-
pecially smooth
and shows no more than
10
kHz usable frequency response.
especially in poorly
illuminated indoor
scenes. The
Canon
falls more
into the lat-
ter
category.
The model's macro
function is
surely a
competent performer. With
it, it is
easy
to
get sharp closeups
to as near as '/,
6 r',
all
while
watching through
the
viewfinder.
It's
a great feature to have
if you're a
stamp or coin
collector, or a flower or in-
sect enthusiast.
In our judgement,
the
VM
-El and
ac-
cessory
-kit
combination is quality mer-
chandise
at
a
competitive
price. It's good
equipment all the
way.
-Stan Prentiss.
Counterpoint
C'mon Stan. How
may
$1,700 buyers
are out there
who
are "live" recordists?
Yes, this is a competitive price, but,
hopefully, there
will
be
lots
more com-
petitors coming up
who will
drive
the
price
down.
On top
of
this, the model does not ap-
pear to be an all
-round
great
performer,
based on
the
"trade- offs" you yourself
cited.
And
I don't get digital
hi -fi
stereo
sound so that one can use
the
camcorder
as
a good stereo
/high -fidelity deck, or a
timer,
nor are there special effects
func-
tions available.
Furthermore, why didn't you men-
tion
the octopus
of wires
and con-
trivance that must
be
attached
to
the
camcorder
in order to make it
a
"home"
unit after schlepping
it
around
and
using it on battery power? Just
think: you need Canon's CA -El
com-
pact
power adapter that
has
to be plug-
ged
into
an
ac
power
outlet, its RU -El
unit that has to connect between
it
and
the camcorder, another
RU
-El
line
(VHF Out) to connect to
a
separate
Canon antenna selector,
and two more
connection
lines from the
selector
that
goes
to the
standard TV set's
VHF input
and to the antenna
(with
a
300
-ohm to
75
-ohm
adapter,
to boot). Then
add a
wired remote
-control
line
and you've
likely missed
whatever
you might have
wished to record from
TV in the first
place.
Anyone going through the foregoing
hookup
hassle for a non -permanent
setup,
which
a portable unit like this
camcorder has to
be considered,
would
have to spring for an 8 -mm playback
deck to avoid
it
all, as well as buy some
costly accessories.
A permanently
con-
nected
"cradle"
would
be
much better.
So
my
conclusion
is not quite
as en-
thusiastically positive
as yours, though
the model is nice
enough.
I think it's too
much (cost) for not quite enough in
terms of performance and built -in
func-
tions (primarily
digital
sound).
