Best Hd Camcorders Prosumer
What is the best HD prosumer camcorder on the market today?
I’ve been searching through various camcorders for some time, yet new ones are coming out and I’ve been a bit lost. Does anyone have comparisons of the best HD prosumer camcorders on the market? Or which they think is the best?
well I’m fairly new to this, but I am getting into wedding videography.
My budget is up to 4 grand for the camera.
I’m also looking into live tapings of various bands. So in essence, i need a good all around to work in these situations. I would like a cinematic feel to the wedding videos, not necessarily with the live bands. I have been interested in the Canon XH A1 for awhile, but I simply don’t know many other options. Thanks for your help.
Best for what?
What is your budget?
Different camcorders have strengths and weaknesses.
I like the Sony HDR-FX1000 for low light or general use. If I need something small, the Canon HV40 or Sony HVR-A1 with the XLR adapter removed. For a shoulder mount, the Sony HVR-HD1000.
Even at 24 mbps, there is no AVCHD camcorder that matches or exceeds HDV’s 25 mbps data stream.
Search using various camcorder model numbers at vimeo.com – you find lots of example video – in case you were not already aware of that site…
