HDV camcoder?

Question

which kind HDV camcorder type off sony the cheap ones, so i gonna chose n buy? n how the different kind feature in instated??

Answer 1

all the 'cheap ones' have a single ccd or cmos chip.

the only thing you have to decide on is what delivery system you want.

the options of course are HDD, DVD, flash memory and mini dv.

mini dv (although the oldest technology) is actually still the best.

dvd has bad resolution.

HDD is better but if the drive stuffs up you may be up for a new drive.

flash drive is expensive and still unproven.

mini dv however has the best resolution, best archiving and  cheapest format.

if you must insist on getting 'the latest' think about hdd as the 2nd option to mini dv, then flash and dvd last. it's not worth it.

hope it helps.

brands are a moot point at this price. think about format forst and see what gives you best bang for buck.

my 2 cents would be to go for sony.
