OK...can't wait for the 1080p model
|
This camera records in 720p mode. Combine it with a 720p HDTV plasma, LCD or CRT, and you got a nice little camera for on the go people. Four major problems. (1)The optical lens needs more zoom range. (2)Low light environments produce grainy picture, may need a camera light for VDO. (3) Need a Blu-Ray DVD recorder; a very large hard drive or buy a new SD card for each VDO project you shot to store your HD VDO. I'm using a progressive scan recorder DVD disc player to store my VDO but I'm losing some of the sharp 720p HD VDO doing it this way. I'll have to wait for a Blu-ray recorder/player or for 2GB SD prices to fall below $10 per Card for HD storing. I may start storing my HD VDO on my external hard drive but i can't figure out how to view my HD VDO on my HDTV's. It's so much easier to view my VDO on my HDTV's on DVD disc or SD cards. Problem #(4)The image stabalizer needs to be more powerful. Shake is very noticable if you're not very still or don't use a tripod.
In summary I would purchase this camera again. Just hope the HD DVD disc and SD card manufactures start making cheaper products. A 2GB SD card holds about 25-27 minutes of 720p HD VDO and cost about $20. I also like the still picture feature. The only problem is that 5 mega pixel pictures are the only 16:9 (HDTV screen) with this aspect ratio. 7 and 10 mega pixel pictures don't fit the entire HDTV screen but are very good for printing.
You can edit your HD VDO right on the camera without the use of a computer. You have to leave enough space on the SD card to do this. About 20-25 minutes of record time will leave you just enough room to edit on the camera. Then just place your camera in the dock and hook-up the wires to your Blu-ray player/recorder for HD storing or progressive scan DVD/recorder for standard quailty. I would prefer to keep my edited VDO on a SD card, but this can become very expensive over time having to buy a new SD card for each VDO project. |
