7 Reasons Your Next Camcorder Should Be DV (page 3)

Who is DV For?

DV has something for everyone. There are DV camcorders for the pro, the beginner and people at every level of interest in between. Camcorders like the Canon XL1S or JVC GY-DV500U are suitable for the most demanding professional work. For the beginner, or those on a tight budget, there are DV camcorders retailing for less than $500. If you already have a library of 8mm or Hi8 videotapes, there are DV camcorders (Digital8 models) that will allow you to continue to use your old 8mm videotapes, while shooting all your new footage in the DV format, and storing it on standard 8mm videotape. Those who want a small camcorder that won't weigh them down will find the "pocket sized" DV camcorders ideal. It's hard to imagine a need that isn't filled by one or more of today's DV camcorders.
