    HDV Camera Market ... Lets talk Cameras

    I m in the market for an HDV camera ...

    I m trying to decide on which camera to go with .. here are my specifications

    - I need an HDV camera for Web scene applications.
    - I would like the HDV camera to record both HDV and SD even might have a need for DVcam
    - I would also need an HDV camera for feature Porn shooting to be released on DVD and/or broadcast HD signal.
    - I would like the camera to offer balanced audio
    - Lastly, The camera needs to be on the lower end of the HDV scale, Mainly cus we are shooting porn, traveling to shoot also. this can put alot of wear and tear on a camera, hense why I would liket o go with an HDV 1080i rather then a Braodcast 50i-60i

    for this reason, the new canon HDV camera isnt a condender, niether is all of JVCs HDV products. PAnasonic has some interesting Camcorders comin out, how ever they re price point is as high as canons.

    So after some research I ve narrowed it down to these SONY cameras. (Being a broadcast cameraman for 17 years, I m a big Sony Supporter)

    HDR-FX1 ..... (doesnèt have Balanced audio but can be added) Approx $3150.00
    HDR-FX7 .... (also doesnèt have balanced Audio, however is lighter then FX1) AApprox. $3200.00
    HDR-Z1U ..... (this camera carries all the Specs I want, and is #1 contender)
    Approx. $4550.00
    HDR-A1U (Has Balanced audio, However this is a Single CCD camera, @ 3mp)
    Approx. $2000.00 A great camera to shoot Web only scenes with.

    LAstly the only worth while HDV VTR i found was also a SONY, HVR-M15U @ approx. $2350.00



    I welcome all comments ... What are you using? and how has it been preforming under Low light or no light conditions .. do you have any samples?

            What I d like is a Z1U and a A1U .. That way I got an HDV for simple reality web scenes and one for more PRO AM stuff ... However add the Playback deck and we re close to 10 000 ... I think my MAtrox RTX 100 Extreme Pro will be able to cpature HDV off a 1394 .. however I think a new HDV capture card might be needed

                have you used it in the SD settings ? And is it switchable 4:3 to 16:9 ?
                Also since it doesnt have Balanced audio, what have you been doing for sound quality .. that on board mic isnt the best .. I looked at the specs for it, and Im really not impressed (the Mic) ...

                  It is so much easier to convert it to 24fps from PAL.

                  Come on Tony...get with the program.

                  I capture from my HC-1 using 1394 but I would suggest getting a breakout box and a deck too. You can pick up a new Sony HDV deck for about $2k

                      Get the FX1/7 and buy 200$ worth attachable mic
                      here you go - you've got all those specs you've mentioned

                      I doubt you'll need Z1 if you plan to shoot for web only.

                              I second that. The HVX has to be your choice for all that you mentioned, and it will still be usable down the road seeing that it shoots real HD.

                                    for the fx1 16:9 is the default, you can reset it to 4:3 and the default is 29 fps and you can change that to 24 fps if you want that film feel

                                      Is there a way to record HD onto the mini dv tapes with this camera yet?

                                      I know the P2 cards are not cheap for the amount of storage you get.

                                      $1300 for 8GB is a little more than I am willing to pay.

                                            I know the P2 cards are not cheap for the amount of storage you get.

                                            $1300 for 8GB is a little more than I am willing to pay.
                                            Sony's FX and Z cams do record on DV tapes

                                                At present no. Shooting in real HD requires a P2 card or external device like a Firestor. Putting HD on tape requires compression. Cameras that shoot "HD" to tape actually shoot HDV which is a compression based format and not true HD.

                                                        there are people who still think that 1080i is the ONLY true HD format...

                                                              Woo hoo .. this thread took off .. Sorry I had an appointment at the Massage parlor (no Happy Ending!) :P

                                                              The PAna looks good However its sitting in the 5500$ price range, Plus you need the P2 card .. and Again Im not looking for HD but for HDV ... i do not want to invest inan edit suite, lens, etc for true HD .. not at the price people want to pay for Porn nowadays ..

                                                              Looks like lots of votes for the Z1 ... I got my hands on an FX1 for the weekend .. I ll test it out and bring back my findings ...


                                                              Anyone have any experience or has heard anythign about the Canon HD camera????

                                                                I had gotten a firestore when they first came out... Oh 5 years ago or something like that .. it was for specific MAinstream project. They wanted to edit on Non Linear and Capture time was a problem ... SO I shot with a D35, Recorded both with the firestore and a 3A deck (betacamsp) ... I gotta say Im glad I backed up the recording with the Betacam cus in the end we ended up going with a linear BeatcamSp edit suite since the record compress of the Firestore sucked .. the longer the takes were the more the audio would lose sync .. not impressed at all

It performs great in low light conditions and can do pretty much anything you need. You can shoot DVcam, SP, HDV. It can also do both PAL and NTSC which comes in handy if you work for both North American and European clients.

You can also hardwire the adapter for XLR.

                                                                              Either one of those two, just depends on your budget.

I've heard great things about this new CCD .. it somehow resembles the CMOS chip in DSLRs ... for crispness. uses less power, among other things .. However I'm not too sure about the low lux capabilities in comparison to HAD CCDs ... Being from a broadcast background and having lifve the HAD? Sony era, I've have proven faith in HAD technology. To this day my favorite camera and the one that has lastest the longest (cuming 7 years) is my trusted PD150

Putting HD on tape requires compression. Cameras that shoot "HD" to tape actually shoot HDV which is a compression based format and not true HD.

The record is on HD tapes Cameras use a Analog type/technology to record on to Digital Videotape (an oxiy moron, probably, never the less still a Tape record and compressed)

I've heard great things about this new CCD .. it somehow resembles the CMOS chip in DSLRs ... for crispness. uses less power, among other things .. However I'm not too sure about the low lux capabilities in comparison to HAD CCDs ... Being from a broadcast background and having lifve the HAD? Sony era, I've have proven faith in HAD technology. To this day my favorite camera and the one that has lastest the longest (cuming 7 years) is my trusted PD150
