Product Description
The VL-NZ50 is a perfect entry-level digital camcorder with an iLink PC interface and full on-screen information. The on-screen displays for battery level and amount of tape remaining allow the operator to devote full attention to filming without the distraction of monitoring battery strength and time remaining on the tape. The 10x optical lens provides the best picture quality and the digital 300x zoom allows images to be captured at distance. Digital Image Stabilization compensates for image shake when a tripod is not used improving the quality of the video. I-Link digital port serves to transfer full motion video and sound to a PC equipped with an I-Link port for video editing on a PC. The built-in speaker allows on-the-spot playback with sound for checking and for viewing video footage anywhere. Both gain up and backlight compensation correct the exposure in poor lighting conditions to easily capture the best picture possible. An on screen recording guide helps the user line-up landscape footage and can be used as a guide for the safe zone or center of lens for easy framing of subject matter. Digital Picture Effects allow different digital effects (B&W, Sepia, NEG) to be viewed without affecting the original recording and to your video a custom edited look.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sharp VL-NZ50 is a great entry-level digital camcorder, featuring a large 3-inch LCD monitor, 10x optical and 300x digital zoom, and digital image stabilization. Lens
With an optical zoom magnification of 10x, the VL-NZ50 also has a digital zoom--which works by electronically enhancing the optical image--that can magnify the picture up to 300 times. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes. Other Features
With its 270-degree variable angle, you can hold the VL-NZ50 in a variety of angles to record over people and objects or film close to the ground. You can even record yourself by rotating the view screen 180 degrees. The built-in speaker allows on-the-spot playback with sound for checking and viewing video footage anywhere. An on-screen recording guide helps you line up landscape footage and can be used as a guide for easy framing of subject matter. The backlight compensation feature corrects exposure in poor lighting conditions. The VL-NZ50 also features several digital effects (black and white, sepia, NEG) that can be viewed without affecting the original recording. Inputs and Outputs
The VL-NZ50 comes with the standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also known as FireWire; Sharp refers to this connection as iLink) for a super-fast, lossless connection to a PC or other DV machines. MiniDV Format
MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with over 500 lines of horizontal resolution--far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll also get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture. The camera also features excellent sound quality, recorded in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes. - 16-bit audio includes one set of stereo audio tracks to produce CD-quality sound.
- 12-bit audio utilizes two sets of audio tracks so you can easily add background music or commentary into your videos while maintaining the existing soundtrack.
This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of two full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD. Contents
This package comes with the VL-NZ50 camcorder, one rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, tripod adapter, remote control (and batteries), AV dubbing cables, wrist strap, and lens cap.

My favourite since the beginning May 29, 2008
Nathalie De Clercq (Brussels, Belgium)
I have own several versions of this camera, and I can't get comfortable with any other model! I just love the fact that it has no veiwfinder, adds a unique touch that most other camcorders don't have. Also if you give it to beginners (or children) to use, they often do a good job of filming due to the fact that it's a camera designed for two hands.
It's also incredibly durable, I take it to the beach, in high heat and I've dropped it in the snow... still works well!
Downsides would be low light filming and the stills (worthless).
But overall I really LOVE this camera and for the price... I'll stick to the Sharp VLZN series :)
Very good mini-DV February 12, 2008
Mr. Romeo Sevilla Jr. (New Jersey)
I own a professional camcorder, a Canon XH-A1. I was looking for a day to day camcorder, when I came across this Sharp VL-NZ50, prior to this, I bought a couple of viewcam 8mm thru Ebay,and I was so surprised how stable my walking shots had become while holding the camera with 2 hands. I bought a stabilizer from B and H for my XH-A1 and I was hoping I get the same stability, I now can hold my Canon with 2 hands and I get amazing walking shots. I therefore started looking for a Sharp viewcam that is mini-DV, I found it VL-NZ50. This camera has better resolution than an XL1 and other non High Def camcorder out there. I love this camcorder. I now just use my Canon for paid gigs like Weddings, etc. I even used my sharp as a second camcorder, I just sharpen the clips on post. Highly recommended.
Awesome camera and awesome price! May 30, 2006

I purchased this camcorder from ebay just in time for a trip to Florida 3 years ago. It worked wonderfully everywhere we went and it was great to be able to play back our adventures later at our room. I just had a baby and it has proven itself once again as a good quality and versatile camera. It is comfortable to use for longer periods of filming, since it has a large screen to look at instead of a viewfinder. It also has a high quality picture and I have "captured" many wonerful still pictures off the video I downloaded onto my computer. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a high quality low cost camera!
 Loved it until I could no longer watch what I taped May 18, 2005

I too bought this camera because I was told that it was the top of the line and used my tax money to buy this for my girls. After a few months of ownership you could no longer watch what you taped. I have never dropped or damaged the camera in any way shape or form. So I took it back to the store that I bought it from and was told that I needed to send it to the manuefacturer to be looked at. Of course that was not free. I am a single mother and can not afford to just go out and buy another one or pay all the money that the company wants to fix it. I bought this camera because my oldest daughter is very athletic and does Bull Riding. Now I have a $300.00 camera that just sits around collecting dust that is of absolutely no use. It will record but you can not play it back. If you want to watch what you recorded you have to hit play and fast forward all at the same time. What I do not understand is why has the company not issued a recall on this particular product. I wonder has anyone ever thought about a lawsuit? If not then someone should. Because after reading so many reviews, there seems to be quite a lot just like my bad experience.
