The last option is more expensive but a lasting solution.  Blue Ray Writer in your currency ± $ 250 empty Blue disc ± $ 20-25.  You will have to comply with minimum Computer Processing power(for 1080P at least Core2 Quad with decent Screen card) Happy edditing</p> <p>David  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45456 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:36:10 +0000 birdcat 45456@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I think as a rule three chip cameras are better than single chip cameras (Red One exception noted).</p> <p>You may want to look at other than HDD - like SxS or P2 based or even HDV.  I am now using a HDD consumer HD camera (Sony HDR SR11) and while I love it and am very pleased with it's performance, I kinda wish I had a physical copy of what I film for backup purposes.  Right now, I copy from the camera to TWO external hard drives on my PC before deleting from the camera just to make sure I don't lose anything in the event of a HD crash (have had this hapen already - lost some stuff and it will cost me lots of $$$ to get it back).</p> <p>The biggest thing you need to identify is your budget and once you have a hard number, list your feature priorities and see what you come up with.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45441 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:55:36 +0000 lolito 45441@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am planning to buy a new <strong>High Def.

If you plug in the A/V out jack and get an RCA two jack to single pin (i found one for 1/8 plug) and then get a female to female adapter you can plug in a set of head phones. The two adapters cost about $10.00. You usually get the A/V cable with the camera then all you need is a good set of headphones.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38907 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:50:08 +0000 mantic59 38907@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I happened to be in my local Circuit City yesterday and saw they also had an HV30 on display.  The '30 was listed at $1100 but the CC website listed it at $829.  The salesdroid agreed to match the web price (such a nice guy) and I was about to pull the trigger when I noticed an HV20 next to the '30 in the inventory cabinet.  I asked about the '20 and the 'droid looked it up: $429.  Since they're basically the same and review sites like camcorderinfo rated <a href="http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HV30-Camcorder-Review-34401.htm">both</a> <a href="http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HV20-Camcorder-Review.htm">units</a> very high, I popped for the '20.  Yes, its a single chip but its larger than other chips in its class.  We'll see....</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38776 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:55:03 +0000 ccvid 38776@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Well, should I consider the hv20 since it is a CMOS chip?  I was under the impression I needed to go 3ccd.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38765 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:53:54 +0000 shippocaio 38765@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hey,</p> <p>did you alredy checked out the canon hv20 or the canon hv30?<br /> they are both great in image quality and they have mic in/headphone out...</p> <p>hope i helped...</p> <p>Caio</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38764 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:53:15 +0000 ralck 38764@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I believe the GS-500 ($700 on B&amp;H) is the modern equivalent to the GS-180.  It doesn't have a headphone jack though.</p> <p>On the other hand, you could consider getting a juicedlink XLR adapter which will give you pro audio inputs and a headphone jack.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38758 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:43:32 +0000 mantic59 38758@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a similar problem: I'm looking for a camcorder that doesn't suck in low/moderate lighting conditions and has an external mic input.  A Canon ZR900 might work in a pinch, and at ~$250 its certainly affordable (but one chip), but I'd like to get the warm fuzzies about its low-light perfomance before I get it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38757 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:30:00 +0000 ccvid 38757@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there still such thing at a 3 ccd camera with a mic input and headphone jack for less than $1000?  The closest I can find is a Panasonic AG-DVC20 for 1124.99 through pricegrabber.com.  I didn't follow through to see if that price is real though.</p> <p> From past forums I see the Panasonic PV-GS180 is a good camera.  Is there a modern version that is similar with 3ccd, Mic Input, and a Headphone Jack?</p> <p> Thanks for the help!</p> <p>Ben</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-camcorder-with-xlr-inputs#post-36990 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:09:11 +0000 robGRAUERT 36990@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Maybe try to find a used camera with XLR connections.

That's the consumer level and XLRs are professional connections. Your best bet will probably be to find a camera in the 500-600 dollar range and then buy an XLR adapter. The XLR adapter will connect to your camera with the 1/8 jack.</p> <p>A lot of people go with the BeachTek XLR adapter.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-camcorder-with-xlr-inputs#post-36979 Thu, 29 May 2008 15:04:34 +0000 mrjman 36979@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm look for a 3CCD mini dv camcorder with XLR audio inputs.
