Sponsor |  filmlou | Jan 3, 2007 7:20am | | Hi folks -- I'm shopping for my next camera (currently using the DVX100B) and I guess I'll follow the swell toward HD acquisition. Your comments please on whether I should go Sony, Panasonic or JVC? Canon product is out for me because the design of the box isn't very friendly. All the best in 2007! Lou |

Sponsor | | filmlou | Sep 8, 2007 4:14pm | | I did purchase the Panasonic HVX200 for a number of reasons. The most important however is this: It is the only true HD camera of the prosumer variety -- not the HDV format. For me this is an important consideration because Discovery, A&E, etc. limit the amount of HDV footage (Sony, JVC) that can be used in an HD program. (12% or thereabouts) Because the HVX200 is native HD it can be used to acquire an entire program. FilmLou |

|  zebramanstumbles | Dec 29, 2007 5:33pm | hi folks! until now i would prefer the hvx200 for the same reasons mentioned above (plus it delivers real frame rate changes).
thereīs also a new sony model announced, should be available here (in europe) quite early in 2008. itīll work with memory cards like the hvx200.
i would not invest into a hdv-tape based camera anymore. |
