so im not an intense filmmaker or anything but i want something decent for the winter. I found this camera in the HD section which sounds good, but i dont know anything about cameras. Is it shit, or legit? Remember i want something cheap so it doesnt need to be amazing.

anyone?

you should probably just forget the hd dude. 150 for an "HD" camera is way, way too cheap. get a more basic camera for a bit more. like a regular minidv cam. but not for 150.

Any $150 camera will suck. Definately HD for $150 is going to be shitty. Save up for a Panasonic GS-320.

its not true HD...basically its not "good" HD unless it is expensive, thats my rule of thumb, expensive being Hv20 and up

 

[CDavis]

yeah i thought it was shity, glad i checked.

anyone have any suggestions for a new camera

 

[CJHski]

if you want a quality camera, step it up and pay at least $600 and get a 3ccd, mini DV camera.........................none of that HD shit or hard drive camera's

 

[n-o]

i would never buy a camera from bestbuy

 

[miroz]

why not? the only reason i wouldn't would be for price. At our local bestbuy, the people that work there are really legit and help a ton

i'm not sure what you're paying for the one from circuit city, but chances are this is cheaper...they are legit, I know from experience. I still think that if you can, try and save up more money for this

[CDavis]

like how do they work? sorry i dont know much on this shit

 

[CDavis]

[CDavis]

bump

 

[CJHski]

dont buy HD

i would get the Panasonic







PV-GS320

 

[CDavis]

why not hd?

 

[396222687862]

HDV is legit. IMO, i'd rather get my 1 chip CMOS hdv cam then a 3 ccd one. atleast for the price i got

 

[CJHski]

because you drop ALOT more money, its not worth it, its really not HD

 

[396222687862]

hows the Gs500 footage look compared to the HV20? tell me, please. and the cost difference?

yyea.

 

[CDavis]

yeah hd definately seems worth it, im still trying to find a dope one for fairly cheap. the hv10 looks good

 

[VT_scratch]

what store or site? many are scams now. theres a site to check the legitness of sites.

 

[CDavis]
