ash.1111 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Is this a good video camera? http://www.new-media.com.au/Sony-HVR-A1P-H...er-pr-1405.html What are some other good ones? I need a video camera with HD widescreen and also a good shotgun mic with ability to add more without buying an addon for the shoe. Forgot to say. I am maxing out the price at $3,500. So not really looking at many higher end cameras.
phazan Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I'll bet that's an amazing video camera... But I don't know if I would come to TPR to ask about ''prosumer'' stuff.
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 What uses are you looking to use a professional camera for? I'm a videographer....and from what I know about HD camera's are that they need a lot of light to shoot with, otherwise they quality is horrible.

Dark video is far from horrible. Possibly the earlier models or such. Below is my new Canon HF100 HD flash memory cam. As for the professional video cameras I wish I could help I was always more of a film 35mm hobbyist and just now starting to play with video more. The Canon has built in dual channel Dolby digital 2 channel audio but also a mic input, multi add on options, etc. Small form, less then a pound. Controllable mic audio input via onscreen levels, flash memory, etc. Shoots 24p Cinema. HDMI, USB out, etc. Depends on the level you are needing. 649.00 us newegg.com Con: No touch screen! Could have more program options Untitled.wmv Canon HF100, easy setting, not even in night mode but set at 24p cin. Much cleaner on TV, hurray compression.
AeRo04 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I recently upgraded to the Sony HDR-SR11. It sells for around £800, records in full HD and has a 10.2 Mpx camera. A 60GB Hard Drive gives loads of storage, and picture and sound is pretty impressive. The only downside for me is that it doesn't have any video input - but that seems to be common in todays Camcorders.
