How come not many camcorders have night vision? I want this new panasonic camcorder, it has everything I ever want.. A very crystal clear picture, and you can take photos while recording.. It's just excellent, but it doesn't have night vision. Is night vision bad or what?

@lilcrazyaznboy Hey man, i wouldnt suggest any cam without night vision, there is two types night vision and infared, i would highly reccomend infared it takes heat and uses as a image, night vision sucks....so if the cam doesnt come with either i wouldnt buy it as its cheap....get this cam man and you will be happy if you can afford $1500 then its perfect!

Hey wutsup, I got this camera, I used to use Magix Movie Edit Pro 15+ and moved on now to Sony Vegas Pro 8.0

Is there a way to edit the video in the file they are in when I put them in PMB? or will I always have to convert them to WMV?

[jackslaughters]

@ButteryCabinet as far as i know, the only way is to convert them to wmv.....but if you have windows 7 you can open them in window live movie maker, which is quicker and then move them to whatever program u want!

i just tried it out. nightshot isn't THAT good and i figured out that you can edit the HD files on a crappy computer. You just need to download K-lite codec pack so your computer recognizes the video types. (Windows7 already has the codecs in the system)

[jackslaughters]

@jrpowell01 but it is that good, and as far as editing on a crappy computer....are you editing HD video or are u using SP or LP recording??? Try pure 1080p edits....

@MRJUCE I want to know the same thing. I hate it when people don't post that info with their videos. Saves people like us from having to inquire.

[lilcrazyaznboy]

@jackslaughters Yeah, but I've been searching and searching and I'm leaning towards 3 great camcorders.. Panasonic TM700 , Canon vixia HSF21 or Sony HDR-CX550.. Do all of these have infrared?
