Hi! can you please help me? :) I got $350 for my birthday and I want to buy a video camera, can u please tell which one is my best option??? thank you!
@MusicF4 the VE records in PAL encoder. V records to NTSC. other than that, there the same. if you live in europe then you can only get the VE. hope this helped. :) note: encoder means nothing, the video is still the same. just the framerate is lower.
90 minutes isn't right at the highest. 15 hours at the highest setting, 35 hours medium and 45 hours at the lowest. I don't know why he is misleading people and telling them it is lower number.
@ItsRainmakingTime yes it does. As he mentioned, i think, it has an accessory show which will enable you to attach external accessories such as mics, and lights.
of cource HDR-XR200V does have gps, its even on the top of the camera. maybe you bought fake product or something.. something like Phone instead of iPhone (looks the same but its totaly different)
Can someone please help me?I'll even subscribe to whoever helps.I can't decide whether to get this camcorder or the Sony HDR-SR11?Please i really need help thanx!
well some of the differences: SR11 has jack input and output, viewfinder, 3.2 inch touchscreen, (compare to XR200's 2.7"), 10 MPix pictures compare to XR200's 4 MPix, docking station (very handy) but only half capacity of HDD 60GB (XR200 has 120 GB), doesn't have GPS (like XR200) plus SR11 looks to me biger than XR200.
The HDD you can still upgrade yourself later.. Think about what you want to use the camcorder for..
Incorrect on one point. Your video even showcases this. You get about 870 minutes of record time with the 120gb hard drive. NOT 90 minutes. The battery life, however is about 90 minutes. You can purchase a bigger battery and go for hours and hours.
The CX range only uses Memory Stick, the pro is it's lighter but the con is that memory cards only come in 64gb max which can cost half as much as the camera. Buying a HDD Handycam is better as it has a huge HDD but is heavier but it's easier to keep still when zooming in on far subjects. I should know as I own this camera and work for Sony.
@IAPOD - I just got one of these HDRXR200V's and it works fine here in Hamilton, Canada. As to the "grainy" video, something isn't set right on your cam. Mine is great, crisp and clear when I play back via HDMI cable to my TV. Highly recommend this cam.
i dont have one i looked it up and based on the specs thats what i got from it and who ever said the GPS works in hamilton maybe but im in a small to and GPS dosent work here so i dont know what to tell you all but i dont know where anyone got the idea i had one i just said what i was told the problems were.
1 gps does not work in canada 2 the high def is grainy when set to max settings not highly recomended unless you just wanna take family vacations anything else get another camera
@Tilan123 this is the best for home cam's on a budgit. or if you step up you can get the HDR-XR500V witch has a viewfinder and full manual mode. but all in all i love this cam!!!
hey guys i got this camera its the best, but not in low light conditions it sucks in lowlight condition dont know why and this guys stupid this camera records for 15 hrs in hightest quality.
@Scramm88 .... Yeah, I’ve had this exact camera and recorded tons of video for over one year now. And you are 100% correct. At first I was thinking, “Damn, I must be a moron, I didn’t know I could jack this shit up higher than 1920 X 1080" (which would burn through the hard drive even faster resulting in 91 minutes of hard drive space). This guy had my head spinning for a moment.
@Scramm88 I work for Sony Australia and personally own this Video Camera and I get around 14 hours of recording. People like this need to do more research as the can and do get sued for misleading information!!! Even when you pause at 4:04 you can see it says "867 mins" of recording time left which is 14 .5 hours!!!
For this instance (a personal camcorder) yes, it is. I'm not talking about futuristic 2160p cameras, or studio cameras for movies. I'm talking about camcorders. So, yeah, it is.
i just bought this for a day in london drug for 1099 canadian and i m in love... but it still got few problems like the gps doesn't narrow down to street only to main high way and the remote that came with it doesn't respawn too well but overall its an extremely hign end hd camcoder!!! five out of five!
Interlaced splits the image into two fields (Odd & Even) and puts them together with a few frames interlacing with their next frame (11,22,23,34,44 = 30Frames per sec / 60fields per sec + very noticeable on a PC)
Progressive is the full image on a frame (1,2,3,4 = 24/30/60 Frames per sec of full image)
