Sharp VL-Z7U
The Sharp VL-Z7U Viewcam is very ergonomic. Its construction allows the user to make shooting comfortably in any position. The VL-Z7U Digital camcorder is a one-handed solution with an integrated rotational pivot point in the center of the unit. The Sharp VL-Z7U is a successor of Sharp’s earlier model - VL-Z5U.
When shooting, you can hold your right hand at the most comfortable angle and swivel the left-hand module to capture the video. Unfortunately, the image quality is below average. This is the issues that Sharp must address in their future models. . Under studio conditions, images may look as though a very light blur filter has been applied, which reduces artifacts but softens details. Most colors are a bit faint, and there may be slight bleeding around highly saturated colors.
