The very reason why im disinclined to pick DV tapes over HDD, is the real-timeness of it all, from recording, reviewing, transfer and editing. Compared both the Canon HV20 yesterday with Sony HDR-SR1E, and although the Canon HV20 has the slight edge on image quality, the very fact that it runs on HDV tapes totally turns me off. I dont find turning back the hand of time rewinding and forwarding tapes ala VCRs exciting.

Still considering though, but it's only a matter of time before im convinced about my going to an HDD-based camcorder....unless someone here can convince me otherwise.

Just a heads-up to camcorderheads here, if anyone is in the market for a preloved Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1010 guncam, I have one going for close to 1/3 the original retail price it was purchased. If this proposition sounds interesting to you, PM me. I'm heading to Osaka tonight and am going for the VPC-HD2000 upgrade while I'm there. Putting it out there here first before I officially post a [WTS] in Garage Sales.



Offer expires on this Thursday.
