The resale value of these cameras remains high.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42764 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:29:43 +0000 jjkrol0601 42764@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I agree with with rob for that pricerange a canon gl2 is probably your best bet i have researched them and they have good quality although not hd. the stock mic on it has pretty good crisp audio.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42763 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 16:08:08 +0000 robgrauert 42763@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> When I first got into video, I got a Canon GL2. Shoots a great image outdoors. You should be able to find a used one with accessories for $1000 or less. </p> <p> If you buy a used one, always buy it in person to make sure the equipment is working properly.  </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/filming-full-speed-racing-atv-racing#post-42762 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:52:04 +0000 wcollum 42762@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Let me begin by saying that I am a new to the whole camcorder scene. I am wanting to get into filming quads and try to make my own video.  I am currently a rider and I would like to know what a good camera would be.  I am looking for a good clear picture.  The sound isn't a big issue since most to all atv racing videos use music instead of sound.  Although, price is a issue I would like to know the best bang for the buck.  I would like to keep it around $1000 or less if possible.  I wouldn't mind useing used equipment as long as its in good condition.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33890 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:48:24 +0000 fairpaul 33890@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks for your replies, it's been really helpful. Filming in HD gets the vote.</p> <p> </p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Paul </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33873 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:54:29 +0000 KevinShaw 33873@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There's a definite benefit for producing widescreen SD output, which most DV-only cameras aren't designed to do well. For standard 4:3 output the difference may not be much, but it doesn't hurt to start with higher quality HD source. Bottom line: you lose nothing by shooting in HD and gain a lot more flexibility in terms of delivery options for both widescreen and 4:3 display.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33847 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 09:07:26 +0000 hidef1080 33847@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've not seen any real increase in image quality when HD is output to standard but if you keep your HD master files/tapes you'll have far better images should you output to HD.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33844 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 05:41:06 +0000 Anonymous 33844@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I use the Canon XHA1 and find that down-converted HD footage looks better than footage filmed in SD. It's also sometimes useful to have HD footage stored away in case you decide you want to do something different with it at a later date. Not always necessary, but worthy of consideration before you press the record button.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33842 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 04:31:53 +0000 fairpaul 33842@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there any benefit, or should I say noticeable benefit to filming in High Definition if your final out-put is in standard DV for the finished DVD? </p>
