Best 3ccd Camcorders
Which of these camcorders should I buy?
I’m what you call a starter videographer–still learning the craft but knowledgeable enough to get jobs. Currently I have a job lined up for the summer filming a promo video for a small company. The CEO has given me a budget of $1200 with which to buy a new camera (somehow my little $120 sony camcorder just doesn’t cut it), so I’m shopping around. All I can say is thank goodness for ebay!
These are a few results from my search. All seem to come from reputable sellers and include a ton of extras! My preference is towards the panasonic AG -DVX100b because I have experience using that model, but I’d like an outside opinion. For a professional camera, which is the best one to buy?
DVCPro AJ-D400P
Panasonic AG-HPX500 P2HD SOLID STATE CAMCORDER
Panasonic AG-DVX100B 3CCD Camcorder
I would go for the DVX100B 3CCD. mainly because its a 3 CCD image system; 24P/30P cinema mode. it has a super Wide-angle zoom lens perfect for small-room shooting, close-ups etc. It has a awesome picture, Its what Panasonic call “Optimized color separation optics help provide true-to-life colors” Only downside is a Mini DV tape..these days were going to HDD drives. although they cost a little more.
