I'm not much of a fan of 24 frames per second because it does not handle motion very well. In the past 24 fps was mandatory for 35mm film out however with the introduction of digital cinema...
I think a good idea for a new invention for a video camera would be a dedicated childrens video camera. The problem with little children is that they whip pan the camera with fast movements and the...
The best standard definition ATSC format is progressive scan 480p that shoots at 60 frames per second. However if a video camera supports enhanced standard definition it will also support high...
The JVC uses MPEG-2 compression rather than AVCHD so it would be easier to edit on an older computer. The Panasonic uses native 1920x1080 chips for sharpest image quality. The JVC uses lower...
Let me give you an example. Take NFL films for instance. They shoot with 16mm film at 120 frames per secound and the results are fantastic. Glass smooth fast action motion with lots of high...
First of all I think that you should get a high definition camcorder because getting standard definition is like getting a black and white television. The Sony Webbie has 2 form factors. The less...
Flat panel televisions while natively progressive have built in deinterlacers so 1080i footage is not a problem. Computer monitors on the other hand are also progressive but some computer video...
There are however a lot of professional video cameras that have interchangable lenses but have no auto focus and rather only a manual lens for focusing. However these cameras are still considered to...
I think that hybrid cameras are the wave of the future. There will come a day when you will not be taken seriously as a professional unless you have a hybrid camera.
The still photo function probably does not add much if anything to the price of the camera. The reason why the camera costs $2000 is because it is designed for prosumer rather than consumer use.
The Panasonic HMC-40 is available for $2000 and it supports a lot of recording formats. It has a high definition 720p mode that records at 60 frames per second which is good for fast action sports...
The Kodak shoots high definition 720p video at 60 frames per second. The Sanyo shoots 720p video at only 30 frames per second. The Sanyo can also shoot at 60 frames per second but only at its lower...
The Canon Legria HV40 high definition camcorder is available for a reasonable price. It includes a microphone input and a jack for headphones. It also uses miniDV tapes.
The Sanyo HD2000 may not have a big marketing advantage for a brick and mortar store to carry it. Any camcorder that can shoots 1920x1080i can and will be called full high definition. If a customer...
With progressive scan 1080p60 recording the Sanyo HD2000 so far has been ahead of the JVC and the Canon as far as the ratings go. The Sanyo FH1 also features 1080p60 recording but it is not as good...
Actually the Sanyo HD 1010 records 60 interlaced fields or half frames in 1080i. However it also records 60 complete frames in 720p. The reason why it is so cheap is because its last years model....
I think that the full high definition 1080p60 format may be the wrong approach for fast action sports. I think that die hard ESPN sports enthusiasts may prefer the 720p format displayed at 120...
