Exemode's budget-friendly DV572 SD camcorder

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 27th 2006 at 10:17AM

Exemode leaves no question about who it's catering to with its uber-cheap, budget-friendly offerings, but we're not complaining with doing the camcorder thang on the cheap. While the firm has been down the pocket-sized road before, not to mention offering up quite the unique MP3 player, this five-megapixel camcorder sports the more typical handheld design. Offering up SD-based recording over the HDD / miniDV approaches, it can handle SD cards up to 2GB in size (sorry, no SDHC support here), and captures the good ole times in 640 x 480 MPEG4 at 30fps. Additionally, it can take stills in JPEG, record audio in WAV, features an (admittedly paltry) 4x digital zoom, rocks USB 2.0 / AV connectivity, and reportedly puts out just under seven hours of battery life. The best apart about this otherwise ho hum offering is indeed the price, as you aren't likely to be too disappointed after dropping just ¥14,800 ($125).

"Admittedly paltry 4x digital zoom"? Why would you want more than 4x digital zoom? Why would you want digital zooming in the first place?

Hi,

Does anyone who owns the DV 575 know how to view its images on tv without the icons that appear on the screen? I'd like to make (record) video copies of my movies, but can't get rid of the icons. Also,does anyone know if an English manual is available?

Regards and thanks,

Rod Hanks in Japan
