In my tests with the Samsung HMX-H200, in low light settings I saw more noise with 720 vs 1080, but in very well lit scenes, I couldn't tell much of a difference on my 21.5 inch monitor between 720 and 1080.  That said, for my music performance shoot I will have plenty of light, so my question is should I just stick with the Samsung and record 720p 60fps if 720p is my target resolution for streaming this video on the web anyway?  Or should I get the newer Sony and record at full 1080p and convert it to 720p in post?  I've heard if you record higher quality from the beginning, your results will be better, even if converting to a lower resolution.  Also, I've read that the bit rate that AVCHD records at is higher and therefore yields higher quality.  But will this higher quality codec and higher resolution even be noticed when compared to 720p footage? </p> <p>Anyway, I'm at a point where I need to make a decision.  I'm weighing the practicality of the Samsung with the possibility of added quality of the Sony at the higher resolution.  I just don't know if I'll see that quality if I'm compressing my video for web streaming anyway.  Any help would be appreciated, and if you have other camcorder ideas, feel free to mention those as well.  Sorry for the book, kind of a simple yet loaded question.  Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Athan</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/watching-hd-on-ps3#post-38579 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:09:10 +0000 dannyuk2 38579@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi i just bought a Samsung VP-HMX10 High Definition Camcorder - all good so far!</p> <p>until i moved the HD footage from the camcorder over to an external harddrive (as MPEG4), i then plugged in the hard drive to my PS3 and watching the footage on my brand new 1920x180 full HD samsung LCD is amazing but i have one snag - THERE IS NO AUDIO, i filmed it on a SDHC (superfine 12mbps) any ideas?</p> <p>I played the camcorder directly through the tv using HDMI and it works so i guess its something to do with the PS3, any of you guys used a PS3 for home HD viewing?</p> <p>Also, I plugged the external hard drive into my 5 year old laptop and played the footage using VLC media player, the odd thing here is that the audio worked but i did not get the picture (the complete reverse).       </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/fs-samsung-zoom-h4-handy-recorder#post-44843 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:57:30 +0000 Pis4PIR8 44843@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Zoom-H4-Handy-Recorder-edirol-sony-tascam-NR_W0QQitemZ140307212443QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item140307212443&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72%3A1234" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Zoom-H4-Handy-Recorder-edirol-sony-tascam-NR_W0QQitemZ140307212443QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item140307212443&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72%3A1234</a></p> <p>Auction ends Thursday March 20 at 12 am EST!  Act now!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-quality-3#post-41307 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:41:38 +0000 RockstarRider 41307@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So right now I have a Panasonic VDR-210 which is a miniDVD camcorder.

I use my camcorder for shotting BMX videos of my friends so nothing on a big production scale. I just want a nice (and cheap enough) camera for shotting. So far I have been looking at the Panasonic <a href="http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/?/photo/camcorders/panasonic.html#nvgs230ebs">&lt;span class="description"&gt;NV-GS230&lt;/span&gt;</a> and <a href="http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk/?/photo/camcorders/panasonic.html#nvgs320ebs">&lt;span class="description"&gt;NV-GS320&lt;/span&gt;</a>. But since I don't know that much about camcorders I dont know what to look out for.</p> <p>Thanks for any advice you can give me!</p>
