HD camcorder ?
 

What are most webmaster's using for their HD camcorder?

Buy at least 3

Sont EX3

ttt ;-) Bump for the camcorder!

I use a Canon HF S100. Will shoot just as good quality video as that $5k XL H1A for $1100. Before you tell me I am nuts, my roommate and I already tested the two indoors and out and there is VERY minimal difference. Plus its much smaller and lighter but you will want a wide angle adapter for it.

Panasonic HPX3000 maybe :)

$5,999 camera. Wow. Now that's a high price to pay.

My guess is that most webmasters don't own an HD camcorder.

I love my Canon HV40
$628.39 at Amazon.com :thumbsup

I just picked up an HS S-10 and it's great! :thumbsup

I still use my hv-30

This is what I use and I couldn't be happier. :)

Still use HV20

Same here and I see no reason to upgrade. Light your sets well, get a wide-angle lens, a microphone, and a decent steadicam and you're all set.

Canon XHA1-S - You can adjust it quickly and on the go + its super light

are these any good?

Canon HF10
or
CANON LEGRIA FS200

Is manual focus really important? Is that what you guys do mostly?

I got the Sony HD Bloggie MHS-CM5 but I am looking to get a higher end SONY , maybe a cannon.

I've got a Sony consumer HD cam. It does the job.

I just gave it to my girlfriend, but the HTC EVO phone that I was carrying shot some nice footare in 720p. That's a nice thing to have in your pocket.

anyone tried the Sony HD1000? Our FX1 just died after only a few thousand videos :-/

Canon LEGRIA HF200 here, not too bad and not too expensive

this works great for content

"Light your sets well, get a wide-angle lens, a microphone, and a decent steadicam and you're all set. "

I got Canon Vixia 60 gig hard drive camera, with a wide angle lens. I use it to shoot my daughter and other random stuff. Works great.

For work i use an ex3.:thumbsup

middle of next month I'll have time to shoot some family pics for ya Dave if you're interested

I use a Z1U Sony :thumbsup

Riffhard: Decent steadicam is probably much more expensive than hv20 itself.

I suppose webmaster = porn shooting guy?

if so - take a look at Canon XF300 or Sony EX1r, these two deliver the best quality for the money paid.

otherwise any 300$ camera will work.

Why do you show me shit like that, man, that is nice.

I've seen nice results from this. :thumbsup

If I were in the market it would certainly be in my top 3 for under $1K.

cheers.

Any more recommendations?

We're just starting out on a new site so for now have a budget of around $500.

Could anyone please let me know what I features I should look for? and do you guys use manual focus or automatic?

I read some reviews for this before when I saw it on this thread but just slightly over budget.

Will keep this one in mind though.

im shocked at the lack of dslr camera users
you can get the pentax k-x that does 720p video for 599 i think

That would rock, but im booking up my week. Need to make up for time I lost last week. Thank you very much may take you up on that offer within the next month or so.

The cool thing, is you wont need to bring strobes, because i have everything.lol:thumbsup

Canon Vixia HF S200, shoots great video!

HDR-FX1

Its my Lawrence Taylor.

I have a Canon HV 30, LOVE IT!

Thanks guys.

I'm weighing up your recommendations... please keep them coming.

Bump for this thread since I'm in the market for a camcorder. Seems like most people here use Canon. I'm interested in the Panasonic TM700 or HMC40. It's been getting rave reviews elsewhere.

The Panasonics do not use Mini-DV tapes - whether or not that matters to you.

Also, the HMC40 is not under $1,000 - again, I don't know if this matters to you or not...

For most shooting we use the SONY EX1 and for public we use the Panasonic HDC-SD9

The EX1 attracts to much attention in public shoots, the lil Pani HDC-SD9 is perfect for capturing public flashing, sex and masturbation scenes in bright daylight.

Sony HDR-FX7 - Never let me down yet!
