How we check

Every fact on this site says where it came from. If we can't point to a source, it isn't here.

Where facts come from

The maker's own documents: owner's manuals, operating guides, Help Guides, spec pages and press releases. Each spec row names its source, and each camera page lists the documents behind it.

Some facts come from the bench: a camera we own, tested and measured. Those are marked bench, with the date.

What we leave out

Anything we have only from a forum, a listing or someone else's spreadsheet. A camera shows up here once at least five of its specs are checked; the rest wait until they are.

Who checks

Bryant, at DadCam. DadCam rents and sells tested vintage camcorders, so these are the notes we keep for our own cameras, opened up for everyone.
