Canon

Hi everyone,

i am looking to buy my first prosumer/ professional camcorder and these 2 camcorders have come up a lot.

I will mainly be using it for school work.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one i should get?

Thanks

Hello!

I am new on this forum and I'm starting film school in a couple of weeks. One of the materials I will need for this semester is, of course, a camera.

My school suggestshttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597358-REG/Canon_3543B001_ZR960_MiniDV_Camcorder_.html/

but I can use another camcorder as long as it can perform the same tasks or more.

I have not yet seen any comparisons between these two cameras. I know, they're both brand new on the market and there hasn't been much time to do a real in-depth analysis. So without having them in my hands, here are just a small sampling of the differences I've seen online that might tip the scales toward one or the other:

Price...
Sony: about two grand
Canon: about two grand

Interchangeable lenses...
Canon: Nope
Sony: Yup

Mic inputs...
Canon: 2 XLR's
Sony: single stereo 1/8" jack

I am selling a Canon Xl1 in good condition on ebay in case anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-XL1-case-and-accessories-/150517870277?pt=Camcorders_Professional_Video_Cameras&hash=item230b906ec5

Hey, I am new to videography, and I am looking into buying a camera. I was going to buy a traditional HD camcorder like the Canon Vixia hf S200,but keep hearing that this Canon rebel T2i is a great buy for a great price. The rebel is in my budget range, so I'm wondering should I get it? or is there something better out there for the around the same price. I am not on a professional level yet, so I'm just looking for something that takes great HD video. Any suggestions for that price range?

?As a very recent convertee to HD editing I am planning to bring my computer into the real world. I am actually planning to purchase a new one and as a total dummy with tech specs I am not sure what I need. I have a 'special' offer on a new computer that has the following:

Intel quad core Q9550 processor

4GB memory and 1TB SATA hard drive

Genuine Windows 7 Professional

Camera is Canon HX A1s and format is HDV

Many thanks,

Brummie

Here's a short clip of a BMX rider shot at 60p with the Canon 7D and then time-stretched to 1000fps using the Twixor plug-in. Looks amazing as the effect is used in bursts.
