TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The reviewers have pronounced the Sony HDR-TG3 as a one of kind camcorder for the reason that it is the tiniest and lightest, with a full high definition imagery ever to be made. It uses a flash memory system, and has dimensions of 119 x 63 x 32mm weighing 240g including the battery.
The camera has a 1920 x 1080 pixels quality resolution, which gives it the full HD grade. The entire shell of the camera is covered with a titanium finish, making it completely scratch-proof, and at the same time, making it look sleek and stylish.
The HDR-TG3 has a touch-screen display, which is a large 2.7 inches, but sometimes becomes tedious as it requires the use of both hands to change a setting or any other function.
It also comes with an interactive face recognition software which the editors claim can detect faces automatically, thus making it easier for the user.

TestSeek's Conclusion

Abstract: TG3E benytter AVSHD og lagrer maksimalt 16 megabit informasjon per sekund. Selv uten å ha kameraets størrelse i bakhodet, ser filmsnutter fra gode lysforhold strålende ut. Allerede nå føler vi oss ivrige etter å anbefale kameraet til alle feriereisende, men vi må jo selvsagt teste kameraet under dårligere forhold også. Og der tar det dessverre slutt..

Abstract: Say hello to my little friend. A truly tiny camcorder with few compromises. Sonys new camcorder takes portability about as far as it can go while still shooting high definition. Its tiny - about the same size as a compact stills camera - so you can...

Beautifully presented and solidly built, user friendly in operation, naturalistic colours and natural-sounding audio in general, plus a pleasing degree of overall sharpness to the footage
Western flesh tones have pinkish hue, compatibility issues with older Macs and versions of iMovie due to use of AVCHD compression format
The Sony’s footage displays naturalistic colours even if Caucasian flesh tones veer toward the pink-ish. It’s difficult to tell if any greater definition is biased to the face – we didn’t notice – but overall the TG3’s imagery is reassuringly sharp. ...
