Panasonic HDC-HS250 120GB Full HD Camcorder or Sony HDR-XR200V 120GB - GoFuckYourself.com

Toonlogos · 06-12-2010, 06:26 PM

Can someone advise me on which HD harddisk camcorder to buy -

Panasonic HDC-HS250 120GB Full HD Camcorder
or
Sony HDR-XR200V 120GB

or another alternative entirely in the $500-$800 range?

Personally I prefer tape.

I suppose between the 2 that you have mentioned I would go for the Panasonic as they have an excellant lens.

Sony is my preference. Especially last years model with the Carl Ziess lens. Superb quality

i always check out sites like cnet before i leap-
http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camc...-33485103.html
mediocre rating on this sony

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camc...-33529396.html
very good rating on the panasonic

This is KEY-The TM300 and HS300 share the same higher-end features as the HS100--manual focus ring, EVF, accessory shoe, and microphone input, so you might consider the HS300.

its 900 bucks, but getting a good mic input (so you have option for a beachtek type XLR device for superior sound) is worth another few hundred.

also, dont know where you buy from, but B&H photo new york rocks.

you also might want to consider the Vixia line from Canon, some great cameras-

Thanks for the advise. HS300 is a little out of price range. I was planning on ordering from bhphotovideo.com indeed.

I did consider that as well, but decided on sony/panasonic for the 120gb hdd. Is there something canon vixia does much better than the sony/panasonic models I listed?

DateDoc · 06-13-2010, 09:25 AM

+1 Panasonic

they all have their pros and cons but ratings wise in this price range both the panasonic and canon out gun the sony.
it seems like both have more manual features than the sony and IMO the mic input is where its at cuz most onboard mics suck.

otherwise if you had 3 to 5k to spend i would say sony all the way.

I have a Canon Vixia HFM30 and it's a very good camera. Here's a sample video I did with it. Hope the link works
