Neither, for that matter, has DVD. I have come to realize that NOTHING, except maybe my old t-shirts, is permanent :-)</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45594 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:31:10 +0000 David Naud 45594@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Dear Birdcat:  You need not accumilate footage on hdd forever.  A cheaper solution is to fetch your footage with a video editing (software) like Pinnacle Studio 12 ultimate and write it on normal DVD with normal DVD writer as AVCHD disc.  However you can only get ± 35 min of footage on disc but the quality at 100% is blue ray like.  You can stretch to ±45 minutes without noticeable quality drop.  The correct option maybe is to get a Blue Ray Writer and save on Blue Ray Disc. The last option is more expensive but a lasting solution.  Blue Ray Writer in your currency ± $ 250 empty Blue disc ± $ 20-25.  You will have to comply with minimum Computer Processing power(for 1080P at least Core2 Quad with decent Screen card) Happy edditing</p> <p>David  </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45456 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:36:10 +0000 birdcat 45456@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I think as a rule three chip cameras are better than single chip cameras (Red One exception noted).</p> <p>You may want to look at other than HDD - like SxS or P2 based or even HDV.  I am now using a HDD consumer HD camera (Sony HDR SR11) and while I love it and am very pleased with it's performance, I kinda wish I had a physical copy of what I film for backup purposes.  Right now, I copy from the camera to TWO external hard drives on my PC before deleting from the camera just to make sure I don't lose anything in the event of a HD crash (have had this hapen already - lost some stuff and it will cost me lots of $$$ to get it back).</p> <p>The biggest thing you need to identify is your budget and once you have a hard number, list your feature priorities and see what you come up with.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-new-high-def-hdd#post-45441 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:55:36 +0000 lolito 45441@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am planning to buy a new <strong>High Def. HDD </strong>camera. I have seen some new Panasonic 3CCD, Sony and Canon Cameras.</p> <p> I need it to perform well under<strong> Low light (indoors) scenery </strong>and have a <strong>good picture quality. </strong>Is the <strong>3CCD </strong>lense the best one or is there any other new technology for optimal image quality?</p> <p>Ã? </p> <p>Thanks</p>
