Philips HD camcorder CAM150OR 1 5 2 2

Grainy picture The pictures can be okay if you are lucky the camera sets the focus right. But the videos are so grainy it's not funny. My old cellphones record in this quality. It's easy to use and nice design but there is no way this weighs up to the quality of the video. I'm disapoint. 21 February 2013

Good build, nice design but very bad performance for an HD camera ! I Bought this to replace a previous Philips still camera (dsc 2000k) before that I had a Philips esp80 I Love my Philips products, and I have a whole house full - honest!but i was very disappointed with the results of this camera, I find the pictures, grainy, smeary and it puts sparkles over everything, plus the blips on the audio when played on my Philips HD TV is really not pleasing to say the least! Very disappointing for an HD Camera, come on Philips you can do better than this! 9 October 2012

Quick sharing for emailing and posting on Facebook/YouTube

With the built-in Windows software, you can post your movies on websites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo with no fuss. For Mac users, you can easily organise, edit and share with iMovie from iLife. With an advanced compression technique, the HD video format (H.264) used by the Philips camcorder can generate smaller files than those from standard camcorders, digital cameras and mobile phones without any loss in video quality, so you can share them faster! These files can also be used by other programs like iPhoto and Windows Movie Maker.

Shoot clearer and steadier videos with advanced anti-shake

Advanced anti-shake lets you take great videos that you will always be proud to share. Steady and undistorted videos are ensured by gyro sensors that are armed with advanced algorithms. The sensors take measurements of the distance between the ground and the camera lens, and make the necessary corrections whenever the camcorder wobbles. This advanced technology gives you blur-free pictures every time, letting you capture the best moments in life in amazing videos.

Dual format recording for full HD and email-friendly formats

Full HD videos are great for watching on HD TVs. But should you want to email the video or share it online, the large HD file will have to be compressed and converted into an email-friendly format. Your camcorder takes away that hassle by offering dual format recording. Turn the feature on and your videos are recorded in two formats—full HD (1080p) and email-friendly QWVGA (240p)—simultaneously. This lets you enjoy your videos to the fullest on your HD TV, and gives you a format you can immediately share electronically.

Relive memories in great detail with full HD videos

Capture and enjoy videos in full high definition quality (full HD 1080p). "1080" refers to the display resolution in terms of the number of horizontal lines on screen. "p" stands for progressive scan, or the sequential appearance of the lines in each frame. 1080p gives video quality that is superior to that found in typical mobile phones and digital cameras. In addition, the camcorder uses the same video format as Blu-ray players and discs — H.264. This highly sophisticated format delivers superb HD picture quality, letting you savour crystal clear memories on video.

Quick impression for video highlights in a mini movie

Make a quick summary of the videos you have shot — all with the click of a button. Quick impression automatically extracts highlights of your latest videos and strings them into a synopsis of your recordings. View the essence of your videos instantly or use the summary to simply remind yourself of what you have filmed. All you have to do is select Quick Impression on your camcorder. Reliving memories has never been easier.
