Hard Drive Camcorders Reviews
I am looking for a good hard drive camcorder ($800 max) that I will be able to edit the video on my computer.?
Apparently the Sony DCR SR100 loses a lot of quality because it tapes in MPEG files which is highly compressed. When you edit you lose even more information. The JVC Everio line seems to be getting only luke warm reviews. The hard drive camcorders seem so appealing but I can let that go if there is a good camcorder in my budget with decent optical zoom, decent megapixels (2-3 would be great) and image stabilization. Am I asking for too much?
I recently bought the DCR-SR100, and I’m very happy with the video quality. While it’s true that it records in mpeg2 (same format as DVD) and the quality suffers when compared to mini-dv. But will you be making DVD’s of you videos? If so, you would be converting (compressing) the mini-DV video to mpeg2 format anyway.
Personally, I enjoy the convenience of copying the video files over to my computer. I am now able to burn my videos to DVD much faster than when I used my mini-dv camcorder.
