I just purchased this camera not too long ago and am working to get a better understanding of ALL of the features of this camera. I will primarily shoot music videos and non-profit events. Does anyone out there own this camera? I have searched the web for a tutorial on the use of this camera as well as when and when not to use many of its cool features such as the preset cinema mode. Any comments, suggestions, stories, questions and discussions regarding the newest JVC ProHD camera would be appreciated. parmaf on "Directors, open your windows!" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/directors-open-your-windows#post-63243 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 07:15:51 +0000 parmaf 63243@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Some news about the project: - The deadline to submit your movie is January 31, 2011 All informations: <a title="www.parmafenetre.com" href="http://www.parmafenetre.com">http://www.parmafenetre.com</a> - A trailer of the project is online : <a title="www.vimeo.com/16235448" href="http://www.vimeo.com/16235448">http://www.vimeo.com/16235448</a> So, make movies and see you soon ! parmaf on "Directors, open your windows!" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/directors-open-your-windows#post-62415 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 04:48:48 +0000 parmaf 62415@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Directors from all countries, we cordially invite you to bring your artistic contribution to the online video project "Par ma fenêtre".

Anyway...what is your end product going to be? If you know your end product will be an SD DVD or the web, I'd go with the PD170. If you're going to try to transfer to film in the end, then I'd shoot HDV (even though I don't like HDV) because it has a higher resolution. duckyduck on "tyro filmaker : Sony PD170 or Canon XH-A1 ?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/tyro-filmaker-sony-pd170-or-canon-xh-a1#post-46414 Sun, 03 May 2009 23:11:41 +0000 duckyduck 46414@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I made a few independent movies over the years, mostly with friends camera and stuff, not too experienced with camera. I am more director than a cameraman. Anyway, 99% of my use of the camera will be for film: cinema, tv... I went to stores in my area, and I can't get the PD170 or the XH-A1 for the same price (brand new). I know about the light issues, but I looked in some videos online, and from that short movies it seems to me like the XH A1 makes a better view after all. What you think will be the best choice for me for FILM making? P.S, It will be PAL.
