hello, i realised most sifu here said dv quality is best when u want to do editing. but how if no editing is needed? does it still outperform hdd with large gap?

currently considering sony sr42, panasonic sdr-h20 and jvc mg37. all with nearly same price 2k(all hdd too). any comments? and for dv the price less than 1k. its really temting but is ti too difficult to used if i can ignore the longer time needed?

Well, If there is no editing is involved then either one is good enough - HDD or DVD. That is if you are not worried about the quality of the video - just need to keep for memories.
Try out the cameras. Dont judge the camera by what you see in the LCD display. Record some footages, load it in your PC and compare the visuals.

DVcams(tape) less than RM1k could be tempting but are the specs equal to the HDD models. I dont think so. They may do good on outdoor shoots but indoors they probably suck.

Good luck

when u guys said editing, wat does it mean? do cut, delete and paste also part of editing which reduce the hdd's video quality? becoz that would be the onli editing i need in future

Telling you the truth, i had a VERY bad experienced with JVC's after service, very bad indeed shakehead.gif . My story was about a mini hifi that i bought, less than 6 months it went kaput. Then i sent for repair, note that it still under warranty, but when it repaired, they call and ask me to pay RM250, wtf, so i argued and said it still under warranty, but they said the service charge is free but i hv to pay for the spare parts. Coz i don't hv any choice, so hv to pay for it, and i hv promised to myself not to buy any JVC products anymore. vmad.gif

Btw, this story occurs about 5 years ago, and i'm not sure if they (JVC) hv improved their services or not. sweat.gif

Peace out  icon_rolleyes.gif
