QUOTE(D-Tourist @ Sep 20 2008, 04:15 PM) DV going absolute?? u mean those mini DV tape one ar? i won't be considerin those DVD has limitation. It is only 30 minutes. What if you are recording something and need to change the disc half way. I read somewhere that DVD-cam need some time to complete/burn a disc. You can't change it quickly. You could lost important footage. I will go for HDD or flash memory.although dvd last only like 30 min, for holidays i guess its sufficient liao wif like 8 disc(4hrs). Can u imagine if get a 120GB HDD u can record like 14hrs -48 hrs, and come back u haf to watch the recording for straight 14hrs and edit a 14 hrs shot would take at least 20hrs. Will look like panda the day following the editing work. heheheh So the luxury of extra storage capacity seems enticing (i admit i am enticed), but the reality check tells me it would be too tedious if we do not exercise skills in recording video. Normally holiday movie are edited to 2-3 hrs only coz nobody wans to watch holiday movies like movie-marathon. Furthermore, the disc we use for dvdcam r usually DVD-RW (RM19.90) whereby it only serves as temporary storage and can later be burned into DVD-R which is way cheaper at rm1 per disc. Just my 2 cents. Btw r u sure 2 battery can last 1 day? i was told 1 batt only last 45 min leh. I check, japan has oversea model labelled (JE) version which is in english and wif international warranties. but i think it is more expensive than local model.

QUOTE(D-Tourist @ Sep 23 2008, 10:17 AM) I don't think you can do that.BTW, found the article I mentioned. For DVD, it need to finalise the disc before being replaced. QUOTE You must finalize each disc before you can remove it--and completing that minutes-long process could cause you to miss a crucial video opportunity. http://www.pcworld.com/article/132102/conv...camcorders.html |

If you read camcorders review, it is always a fight between Canon and Sony. Canon is leading the HD range right now.

QUOTE(C-Fu @ Nov 5 2008, 01:43 AM) I'd rather pick on Sony DCR-SR55E. Should be cheaper, better low light quality, better picture quality, better everything lah. But if I'm not mistaken, Samsung SC-HMX20 should be a lot cheaper. And, BETTER. For lowlight, this is paling best in its class. I have been trying to find Samsung SC-HMX20 in Malaysia? Do you have any luck? How much is it in Malaysia? |

Saw the Sony sales brochure already. No price discount for camcorders but they give some gifts. Some, they give photo printers....not attractive for me

QUOTE(FuGZ @ Dec 31 2008, 10:00 AM) thanks! it's a Canon HV20, now replaced by the HV30. bought it for 2.9k about 3 months ago. I almost bought Pana HDC-SD100 until one shop offered a very good price for HF100. Only one shop that sell it at Gurney Plaza. Even Canon shop also doesn't have the stock MyDevil, i envy the shape of the HF100 and the rest of the new ones! |

I am using Canon HF100. And yes, it will create multiple video files. But, I don't have your issue during playback (I am assuming that you mean playback from camcorder). It will play all the files in sequence without stopping. Perhaps you can check the setting in your camcorder.

QUOTE(unknowndevices @ May 25 2009, 05:44 PM) hmmm...anyone mind to share any good software for video editing?... I am using Cyberlink PowerDirector because it is the best to convert AVCHD to normal DVD. Don't have BD player yet. So, at the moment all my videos are converted to SD. Sony Vegas was a bit poor to convert HD to SD.most of my friends using Mac and got nice software bundled together and it looks easy,good and nice using it... anyway,any suggestion for windows-based video editing?.... PowerDirector got promotion now till end of June. 50% discount |

QUOTE(migrain @ Jun 2 2009, 10:16 AM) Greetings, Sony camcorders are good. I will consider them if their memory stick is cheaper. Check the price including the memory and compare.I plan to buy a new HD camcorder.. I'm tempted by the SONY HDR-CX100, but I haven't yet look into other brands. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for to compare with. So, can I seek advise here? - Whether is it worth it or not - SONY HDR-CX100 - or is there any other better option, within the same price or lower, with good payment scheme? Note that I don't really have much knowledge on camcorder, but HD camcorder does give a good video quality, right? I don't even sure if I asked the right question here, but I hope you guys understand it. Thanks! edit: So I just take a look at Canon Vixia HF100 and found out that this model in someway is better the the SONY's, or so the reviews said. But yeah, it is a little bit more expensive than the SONY. But I still wonder if it is worth it? |
