Now there's the HPX170 which is the tapeless version and smaller version of the HVX and considering that P2 cards have gone down significantly in price. 64GB for $900 and 32GB for $500. 16GB used to cost over $900.
I would much prefer the JVC for ENG style events, extremely SHOULDER friendly, and it's actually very small despite its looks, plus a real viewfinder.
HVX is better for cinema style setups IMO, best to have a laptop on set. It's softer image scales better than sharp images.

can you change the lens on an ag-hmc 150?

As for me, JVC is the best. Panasonic seems to have a darker look regarding the image but in fact is not that good. This is my opinion and do not intent to convince anybody. Ps you should have given the other guy 5 5 it would have close it. It worked at the begining and make you look like a bad jerck at the end. cheers. thanks.

I watched all of them.But where is # 29? Do you have more coming?

I have a bad feeling about an incamera bluray backup.
Just look at the travesty that is DVD camcorders.
-
The problem being though is that if you are shooting HD you want minimally compressed storage medium.
Putting HD onto DV cassette tapes involves serious compression.
HD is a format that is making tapes rather obsolete.
Tapes are on their way out and really shouldnt be a major issue when considering a camera.

Panasonic HVX-200

I appreciate the due respect y'all pay to the JVC-110, it's not better than the HVX200, but is nearly as good, and people don't often give it it's due respect. I look forward to more videos.

The Panasonic can use systems like the fs-100 hd recorder so the issue on storage is negligible. more gb for your buck.

I use the FS on the JVC, and we are comparing storage for the price. The Panny is quite a bit more expensive, so the JVC with an FS is similary priced to the Panny without. Take into account that the FS on the JVC, still gives you a tape backup to account for the FS's sometimes blotchy reliability. The Panny will give you no backup when being used, a problem that has plagued us more than once.

Thanks for the input. I definetley would agree with you on your camera choices, i just wish there was a better backup for the video, (there is a blu-ray format in the works that will burn in camera while the cards are writing.) Even though optical media isn't great for a longterm backup as it degrades over time, for short time dependability, it could really shine.

Last question (for the week, i suppose). In talking about storage, how much video (in terms of time) can fit on a P2 Card. (and likewise, how much can fit on that external drive?)
If you plan to shoot for an extended period of time, like 6 to 8 hours, which storage format would you recommend?

Sorry it took so long for a reply, ive been soooo busy. Anyway, as far as storage goes, the firestore used on any camera is usually king, giving you up to 100gb of storage. This equates to over 400 min of SD footage, with less HD, but still more than a P2 card that costs the same as the firestore. Also, the FS shoots to an editable format, so no having to back up two files or lose time converting them.

I'm not sure what HDV 720p will really mean in terms of production. As you might be able to tell, I'm pretty new at this. During the flat out nasty comments by Cinema East to anoter one of your videos, you were discussing that broadcast quality is 60p. The reason I (and someone else, I think) asked to "see" footage from the cameras is that the numbers dont make sense to us (or me, at least), but seeing it might.
piattrocks 3 years ago
Standard Definition broadcast quality is at best 60p. Most peoples televisions see interlaced video, meaning that its really 60i. This means 60 frames a second, because they are interlaced, meaning two fields for every one frame you see, you really are only seeing aqn equivalent of 30 frames a second. 720 means its HD, with 1080 by 720 pixel aspect ratio. The HDV is the format it is recorded to, which is basically an Mpeg 2 codec.
