The HD is a usable bonus and will come in handy for aerial and gigs in tight spaces. That's interesting about the 'jello' effect, but I'm not surprised since they haven't put in any image stab yet. You'd have to get a lens that does that (not cheap!) Every thing I've seen video wise was shot on some sort of support, except for one aerial clip (which was awesome!) Never expected it to 'supplant' a dedicated camera rig, just want it for support which is all I would have gotten the JVC for. Since we already have a good selection of EOS lenses, $2,669 is a good deal and it will be easier faking out the authorities by giving them a roll of film than 'horking' up a solid-state card or worse, the camera because we can't pull out a tape.</p> <p>Concerning anything RED, to paraphrase Earl on another post, "I don't have anymore children to sell."</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43829 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 08:30:23 +0000 robGRAUERT 43829@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> If you'd want a DSLR that shoots video as well, I'd just wait for the RED Scarlet and Epic. </p> <p><a href="http://www.red.com/epic_scarlet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.red.com/epic_scarlet/</a></p> <p>  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43815 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 23:57:54 +0000 EarlC 43815@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Don't get THAT much HD video with the 5D (at $3,499 with a lens kit, $2,699 without not really that great a price for a DSLR primary camera with HD video capabilities just another feature built into it) - shooting HD video is limited to about 5 minute continuous shots.</p> <p>Reviews in the January 2009 Videography magazine indicate there are other problems with the CMOS that make shooting the unweildy DSLR body style handheld an unhappy experience, with the "jello effect" and also limited audio input options.</p> <p>Still a lot of obstacles to overcome before either the Nikon D90 ($999.95, $1,299 with an 18-105 mm VR lens, or the Canon supplant a camcorder at any price, brand or recording platform.

For 4k, I want options. Not to mention the price of solid-state cards aren't dropping significantly. It would be different if you weren't getting as good an image on tape. What about all of these kids trying to break into the biz? This stuff's expensive. The whole thrust of the 'Digital Revolution' was that the hardware and software had become affordable. Though the camera would be compatible with our 200UB, I'm thinking we may go with the Canon 5D Mark II. Great images and costs a little more than half of the JVC.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43806 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:17:29 +0000 robGRAUERT 43806@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> ahh...you beat me to it! i was just about to post this news. haha.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is a great camera.

Also, I've been told the hard drive speed should be no slower than 7200rpm.</p> <p> One hour of video is 12-13GB, although, I've also been told you don't want to fill your hard drive more than half way because then it's only working half as good.

When you capture, make sure you software is set for the right codec. You should be capturing in the "DV/DVCPro NTSC" codec. You should also be capture to an external hard drive or a second internal hard drive. Do not capture video to your primary hard drive. </p> <blockquote><p> I would like to know if the quality from the Samsung MX20 going to be worse,better or equal to that of a miniDV when burned to DVD???</p></blockquote> <p> That camera seems to be pretty crappy. It records H.264, which you can't really edit, depending on the software you use. It also only has 1/6" image sensors. That's tiny. I wouldn't go below 1/3"</p> <p>I wouldn't bother with the cameras that record to a hard drive either. It's nice to have the footage on tape.</p>
