If you're doing green-screen compositing, progressive scan might help a little. (The HV20 can do progressive at 24fps, but the HV30 can do it at both 24fps and 30fps.) If you're planning some ambitious movie-making, you might also consider the Sony HVR-A1U. It's a low-cost professional hi-def camcorder that has gotten good reviews; yet many people overlook it.</p> <p>Of course, a good story can be more important than the quality of the camcorder.</p> <p>Ken Hull</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/yet-another-what-camcorder-should-i-get-question#post-35499 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:40:01 +0000 rkhanso 35499@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>That settles it.

I currently have an old Sony Hi-8 camera that does not do well with green-screen effects and video looks just plain bad.</p> <p>There were a few cameras I was looking at, and was trying to stay around $1000. I met a guy at the local political caucus that has a used Canon XL-1 and is asking $1200. I was also looking at the Sony HDR-HC7 ($970), the Panasonic PV-GS500 ($700) and the JVC GZ-HD7 ($1000). I know there's some variety there.</p> <p>I'm not sure I need HD - I don't currently have a HDTV, nor computer equipment. I do use Vegas Movie Studio Platinum v7, so it is able to edit HD video, though my computer is near the minimum requirements that Sony recommends for editing HD content.</p> <p>I thought that getting a 3CCD camera would help on the green-screen effects and picture quality in general, but have also read decent reviews on the Sony camera. Is a 3CCD camera that important - or will the HD quality suffice?</p> <p>I'm not picky about the hard drive vs. tape issue. I like the idea of the focus ring on the JVC and XL-1 cameras and some manual controls were high on my list of requirements. I don't want to spend $1000 and then find out I picked the wrong camera - if you know what I mean. I also wanted to get a camera with mic and headphone jacks and other features that the 'pro' cameras have. Should I be looking at different models altogether?</p> <p>Ease of use for the rest of the family is somewhat of a concern, though rather low on the list.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/buy-cheap-used-handycams#post-34277 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 18:04:20 +0000 tcxentertainment 34277@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'D LIKE TO CONTACT SOMEONE WHO GETS USED CAMCORDERS FOR SALE ON A REGULAR BASIS.</p> <p>I NEED THEM WORKING AND AT CHEAP PRICES 'CAUSE I'M PLANNING TO RESELL 'EM.</p> <p>STARTING FROM HI-8 TO DVD-R, NOT PROS (YET).</p> <p>CONTACT ME AND, IF YOU'RE SERIOUS MAKING BUSINESS, I'LL BUY 'EM FROM YOU QUITE OFTEN.</p> <p>PLEASE SPECIFY HOW YOU GET THEM.</p> <p>I NEED THEM WITH AN ADAPTER AND A BATTERY EACH.</p> <p>DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'VE BEEN REPAIRED AS LONG AS THEY'RE WORKING.</p> <p>PS.
