My svhs camcorder has begun to behave strangely, and I thought I'd beg advice from the experts--and where else than here... In situations of low-light, like in...
Is it possible to hit the "b" button (keyboard) and have it not default to the square brush, but circle or any other one chooses as a default? When I'm using...
... Send the output directly to a monitor... if the problem persists it's the camera electronics or possibly the cable. If not and it's a different tape stock...
... Excellent advice, Gary. I sat up last night till 3am, testing this very thing. Output appears normal, so it's something in the record functions that's...
... Hi Mike Is your Vid-cam covered by insurance! "Whoops mr insurance man it fell off my desk and broke" :-) just a suggestion, pets and kids are so clumsy? ...
Just under the blanket of home coverage; fire and theft and acts of god. Don't think I could push it any farther than that, I mean unless I accidentally...
Any quick impressions, Sony vs. JVC? (I'm looking at the $1k and under models). Lean towards JVC, 'cause that's what the ole warhorse is--but I know ...
FWIW, I really enjoy my Sony D8. No doubt a consumer grade camera, but good enough for my uses. I like the fact that I can find 8mm videotape in a nearby...
Yep: in my quick straw poll, sony's winning out, over jvc. And I'm definitely going con- rather than pro-sumer grade--though I'm pretty likely heading towards...
Just bear in mind that Sony MiniDV usually has only 10x optical compared to at least 20x optical zoom for the D8 cameras. (my "antique" TRV120 has 25x optical)...
... Yes, they really are a bit too small. The pack-of-cards models are ridiculous. I wasn't aware that--woops, I was about to make a mistaken remark, based on...
Chris, which model did you get? I am half-way serious about looking for one. However, if you don't have a backlog of Hi-8 tapes - and I guess the OP does not...
oops, you answered. D8 is identical to miniDV, except that it uses Hi-8 tapes. It was purely designed as a "bridge" from Hi-8 to DV. The DV signal is the...
TRV120 as per recent posts. I don't know about lens quality being better, haven't done any direct comparison. I have found lens quality in mine to be as good...
But in the future, the pass through might be important! The reason I say that lens quality is marginally better is that the mini-dv's use Zeiss glass lenses,...
If others, like me, are out there trying to burn some late xmas money, here's a pretty kool link. http://dvspot.com/ (Klik on the "reviews and info" link, for...
Hello Mike, Hello Mike, ... I prefer Sony over anything. JVC does have some good stuff, however, and I'd rate them over Panasonic. If possible, you should try...
Hello Chris, ... Actually, I believe that the SteadyShot is mechanical rather than electronic. At least I know it is in the PD 150 and the DSR 250, and I ...
Hello Keith, ... I have a PD 150 and a DSR 250 DV cameras and a DCR TRV230 D8 camera. The 150 is considered "prosumer" while the 250 is definitely pro. The...
Yes you are right, except that they move lens elements. I was thinking about my old Sharp Hi8 Viewcam. You could tell on that one because when you turned on...
I'd definitley go with mini-dv. Resolution is better than or as good as svhs. Camera is smaller in size. Tapes @ Tape Resources are relatively cheap. Shipping...
... This is excellent advice--but I'm afraid Sony's sight isn't worthy of your recommendation, Keith. Had nothing but trouble with it, for four or five days...
... Good one. You got me, Chris. (And hey, thanx, for giving Jaeson credit for my wrong word). http://world.lookscool.com http://www.efn.org/~mikemcoo...
Apologies to Jaeson. Go here Mike: http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/dvimag/ Select the digital imaging product you want, then go down the page and click ...
