Best Camcorders Hd
What are the advantages, disadvantages, and differences between Mini DV HD camcorders and digital HD ones?
I am just wondering this, because I am trying to find an HD camcorder, and I was wondering what the advantages, disadvantages, and differences are between these two types of camcorders, and what would work best for me.
Agree with all that Tal says, but he did not included advantages/disadvantage…
MiniDV tape getting DV or HDV format video is least compressed. More compression = more discarded data = reduced video quality. Neither miiniDV tape nor flash memory suffer from the vibration, high altitude or data recovery issues that hard disc drive camcorders have. With removable memory, when filled, just put in a blank. With hard drive, when filled… then?
With flash memory or hard disc drive, how are you planning to archive (not just back up to a computer’s hard drive) the video? With miniDV tape, take the tape out, lock it, mark it, put in another – digital tape has a good, long, proven, known shelf life – just don’t re-use it.
Since we don’t know you and don’t know what you plan to do with the video, it is difficult to know what is “best” for you.
