the quality on my 2100 is crap, and i cant figure out why. i capture the footage onto imovie using a firewire, and the quality always ends up bad. any idea why?
how come the quality doesnt look as good as like them pro videos? is it like your editing software or something please message me back im about to grab me one of them bitches
is probably because he dident set the quality high enough in hes edit program. he could make this video HD if he wanted and still have a extreme good quality :) thats some thing you need to do in the setings on the edit program. do u know the name of the song on this video?
The vx2100 isn't 1080i. If you try to upload a high quality video in HD, it would look even shitier than this. The vx2100 doesn't shoot in widescreen, and he obviously tried to stretch the video to make it fit the full screen for youtube, but stretching ruins quality. And Youtube's uploader ruins the quality of a video even more, so that's why he's having quality issues.
Its because in his editing program he tried to stretch the video to make it full screen. The vx shoots in a kind of square type of deal, while others (such as my fx7) shoot widescreen, so no stretching is needed. Another factor is Youtube itself. Youtube's uploader horrifically ruins a video's quality. With pro videos, you are getting the straight footage that isn't ruined because of an uploader. They film, edit than publish their work.
its because youtube lowers the quality to shit. and people make videos to be small so its easy to put on youtube. and plus on DVDs its 100% full quality
well i use mine mainly for skateboarding, because i actually have footage ive used featured in professional skate videos like thrashers king of the road 2007 and featured on companies websites, but i also do work on the site like movies and such, but mainly timelapse work and skateboarding
so is this camera pretty good? can someone give me like a good opinion. cause i was going to start saving up to get one. i know someone who has one and they love it. but i want more than one opinion on this.
well the sony dcr series are perfect because of all the manual settings they provide... the gl1 and gl2 have some, but not all like the vx series do... and the mk1 is tons wider than the mk2... the only drawback is the vignetting (rings in the corners) but personally, i like that...
They aren't superior to a vx2100 it is just a preference. A lot of it just depends on how you like to film and how you like the quality. Like a vx1k has better sound quality, no lcd screen and more realistic day colors while a vx2100 has better vignetting, has an lcd screen and gives daytime colors a more golden tint usually
But like I said it is just a preference to the filmer and skater... the vx1k is more popular but I know plenty of amazing filmers that use vx2100s
save up for a lens then... the only lens to get for this is a death lens and its about 700 bucks new... so go to ebay and look... why have a 2500 dollar camera, and a 100 dollar lens? its gonna look like crap
got it for 1500 on ebay and i film more than skateboarding... i do film street too... but for actual videos... watch for the milwaukee section in king of the road 2007 when it comes out
1500 used... and i would go right to the 2100... the 2100 has the best low light capabilities along with a zoom rocker and recording button right on the top handle for better ease of use... if thats not a big deal for you, go for the 2000, but the 2100 in my opinion is a better choice cuz if comething happens to it, there is a greater chance of finding a part for it since its newer
nollie back big to back lip is killer, the ballin song makes for a pretty chill vibe too. the vx1000 is an amazing camera, the vx2100 is super sick too, it all depends on what you need your camera to do. also the vx2100 beats the vx2000 in the dark.
but if you break it your done cuz they dont make parts for them anymore and it takes forever to find a part... the 2100 is better in low light anyways and is just as good in day light as the 1000
i think its a great video good angles and all i really wnat to get that camera but i dont have the money now you should try like final cut or somehting maybe just iMovie HD
actually you got that backwards... the 2100 is better for night cuz it has better low light capabilities than the 2000 thats whay its called the 2100 and not the 3000 cuz thats really the main difference
its worth about 1500 bucks off of ebay and i dont really care if i cant hold it steady... this was all from the day after i got the camera... a month ago... the stuff i have now is way better
adobe premiere 6.0... i know its a bit outdated but its a bootlegged copy and i dont have the funds to buy premiere pro... im saving for a fisheye... currently im using my frien's fisheye
yeah it gets you clean footage, its easy to use for skating cuz of the handle on the top and the record button and zoom rocker built in the handle also, and the manual focus and zoom rings... i got it for &1,525 with a hard case and some lenses off of ebay... so id go there unless you have the 3 grand for a brand new one
im gettin the cameo, tripod, replacement battery, lens cleaner, case, and like 10 mini dv tapes for 2300. its only 3 grand if u get it off sonys site.
how much is a vx2100? thanks

They aren't superior to a vx2100 it is just a preference. A lot of it just depends on how you like to film and how you like the quality.
