I read that Mini-DV camcorders produces the best video quality, which latest camcorder will you recommend?

Question

Another question, will Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder (planning to get one) gives me the video quality that the Mini-DV can give?

Answer 1

MiniDV is just the media format. It doesn't necessarily give the best quality.

Better to say that the best quality in semi-pro camcorders and down use MiniDV.

However, the Sony HDR-SR11 is phenomenal. It can out perform many HDV camcorders (those use MiniDV just in HD format...highest quality you'll get for MiniDV).

You might want to consider Sony HDR-SR12, since that's the same camcorder, but the hard drive is larger...60 GB is big, but better to be safe =P

But yes, that Sony HDR-SR11 is one of the few camcorders that will replace MiniDV.

Answer 2

yes because minidv is film or tape whatever you wanna call it does seem to produce a better video quality than harddisk

on harddisk the video quality is harder

and no like i said harddisk are not as great quality-wise i say

look for minidv!
