Digital Camcorders I've been out looking at these today and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any decent ones, I'm not after anything flash, the one that I like so far is a Panasonic and is £299.
i got one jimmy - probs the one you've seen Panasonic NVGS1 or something. make sure one u buy has a firewaire (IEEE1394) socket for digital video download - u might need a card for your Pc but they're only £15... ignore still photo features, they're as bad resolution as photo cameras - stick with a seperate digital still camera scienctifically speaking.
some i looked at only had s-video or USB. Can still get digital video via USB, not at the same frame rate or something...
What kind of wank dv cam has USB 1 only? heh. Anyways, if it's for bright light work it doesnt really matter - wheere the big boys differentiate themselves is under poor conditions. At slightly low light levels ( indoors at night etc ), a cheap camera will become grainy as hell. Canon MV range is good, imo - I have the 630, does the job fine for me. Harry
I went for the Panasonic something 11B, it was £299 and had alot more than the canon one we were looking at including a better zoom and stuff, the difference between the lenses on the two was next to nothing and the canon was a canny bit bigger. Patriot - Cheers
