I have a Sony HDR SR5.
It can be a bit of a pain...since Sony uses a different format to record/play. But most major video editing software can handle it just fine. Havent tried burning onto dvd yet.
Video is awesome, records in 5.1 surround sound and I dont have to carry anything else since 40G is pretty hard to fill in one sitting. (for me anyways - I always record max settings) |
I just looked that up on Gmarket, and it runs for about 1.2 million here! wow. Did you buy it here or elsewhere?
If you know offhand, how would the HDR-SR5 differ from the DCR-SR65 (the one I'm looking at)? Of course there must be a big differences since the DCR-SR65 runs for around 700 thousand. The DCR-SR65 says it also comes with 40 gigs of memory, so just curious... I'm such a newb. |
From what I could find, the DCR-SR65 model you are looking at does not record in HD. And yes I bought it last year back in the US, but I also paid $1000. I bought it when it first came out...for the birth of my son.
The reason I wanted an HD camcorder is for the video quality. There are plenty of nice non-HD camcorders out there...but if you want the best possible image quality, then HD is the way to go. I was in the delivery room with my wife recording...and whenever I rewatch the video its like being in there with her all over again. The video really is amazing, especially watched on large HD tv's.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. There are higher rated HD camcorders (namely Canon) out there but I really wanted not to deal with carrying tapes. |

Thanks for the rundown. Now I see what you mean.
Another poster mentioned getting a good still camera and using the video function. I thought of that myself....actually I have a decent Canon digital camera, but it only takes 3 minute videos. How did your wife feel about the video camera in the delivery room?? |

Well in the delivery room she was a bit preoccupied  We both agreed beforehand that we didnt want it to be graphic. So when it came time, I stood off to the right of her and recorded. The nurses were nice enough to take turns with me recording too...which was really nice of them. So we got shots of him being weighed and being checked out.....and me and my wife holding him for the first time  |

Wow, that's so special! Can't do that with a 3 minute video limit on a still camera! |

| I bought a Canon HV30 for 650,000 and had it shipped over from America. Check this forum for all the latest pricing information http://hv20.com/showthread.php?t=9232 Though it uses tapes, they are small and hold about an hour on each one. The nice thing about the hv30 is that it records in 30p, which makes it easy to convert so you can put the videos on youtube |

| I thought it was good for 25p shooting (cinematic) and not necessarily for its analog to digital conversion. |

My Canon camera has no 3 minute limit.
It's only limited by the size of the flash memory. |

Do u have a link for the camera? I'm in need of a replacement video cam or a still cam that takes ok video. I don't need HD and have an old (heavy) video camera. |
