Sniper Elite V2 comes real close to offering players an engaging sniping experience, but ultimately falls a bit short thanks to clunky controls, terrible AI and wonky stealth mechanics.
The battery can run for 4.5 hours when using ultra fine mode and up to 9 hours with normal. The good thing is it takes just about an hours or so to fully charge.
I wouldn’t recommend using the still camera too much. It’s not easy if you’re dealing with fidgety people or you don’t have a steady hand. One slight move and the pictures are ruined with a blur. (They should include the stand with this).
There are plenty of settings to play around with for all you serious photographers out there, like Sepia settings or Monotone. Even various settings for different lighting conditions eg. For floodlighting, snow, florescent lighting etc. Most important are the adjustments that could be made for viewing, the 16:9 aspect ratio which is best suited for viewing on a wide screen display and 4:3 for your standard displays.
The 32x Optical Hyper zoom is smooth when in normal but again too slow in night mode. You do need a steady hand to focus while zooming in or out but which camera doesn’t have that problem.
Conclusion The bottom line – While your night mode setting is, well literally a shot in the dark, its still a great camcorder for your normal use. With its light weight and compact size it’s easy to carry around. The user friendly interface is great and simple enough for even first time users to figure out. Even the sound and video quality is great when connected to the TV. But I like the fact that I don’t need to carry spare tapes with me when I go on a trip. The 20GB hard disk is excellent and the fact that this JVC model allows for an external SD card, makes it even more attractive.
I’m not so sure it’s worth the street price of Rs. 31,000, but it is a great little camcorder, although the stills are not so great. So you might want to consider that.
