Video cameras?

[7X]

i have a sony trv-950 but it was recently broken by a friend and i am looking to replace it. Would you recomend the cannon gl2 or panasonic ag-dvc30? which is better?

 

[Leckett]

thats such a close battle....i think the only way to determine this is googlefight. their pretty much even

 

[7X]

i am leaning towards the gl2, i like the way it looks. i know thats not a good criteria to go by, but the way the handle and everything looks more smooth.

 

[Chubby.Chaser]

Go with the GL2

OR

hmmmmm....tough decision, I wish I was a moneybags.

 

[twix_182]

i sspent all summer last year getting money for the gl2 and it was definately worth it.

 

[nealpgards]

the gl2 does look smoother, but i would get the panasonic, because i have heard many good things about it.

 

[7X]

my friends tell me the panasonic is better quality but he gl2 looks so much smoother, def for follow cams.

i got a sony HDR-HC1 and have been very happy with it.

 

[skiing_yourmom]

hm, video cameras, i like video cameras!

 

[[~_~]]

I have a GL2 and it is definatly an awsome camera.

Panasonic, however, is known to have the best video cameras though.(specifically colors)

I can't say how good the DVC-30 is though, for I have never used it. all I know is that the GL2 rocks.

 

[tBatt]

deas anyone else smell a hint of alias?

 

[7X]

bump bump.

 

[juanborlando]

im choosing between the same cameras. correct me if im wrong, but the panasonic has better quality? but how well does the handle on it compare to the gl2? cause i need a decent handle for follow cams and such

 

[juanborlando]

anyone?

 

[Calrin]

wow strange just today i decided i was getting a dvc-30.

 

[7X]

thats what i got, its fucking sick. i just got it in the mail a few days ago. definitly a great decision.

 

[evaroni]

i just ordered a GL2 this morning, im so stokked

 

[7X]

should have gone with the panasonic

 

[dirty_dreb]

i got a 3chip panasonic like 2 days ago... SIIIKE

 

[7X]

its nice

HDRFX1E

THE SONY ON ITS BULLSHIT. shots HD

 

[ShadyHillGroup]

doesnt the gl2 have head cleaning problems? that would be the only reason i wouldnt get it...it does look so sick though

 

[Paul-o-Rama]

get the panasonic, teh gl2 is pretty prosumerish

 

[[~_~]]

its not HD. Its HDV. Of all the "HD" cams thats probably the worst one.

 

[cobra_commander]

definitly, I would go with the GL2 its cheaper and I think it is better for fallow cams.

 

[eastAR5]

if you wana do follow cams...

VX MOTHAFUCKING 1000000000000000000

 

[[~_~]]

You shouldn't base your entire camera descision upon which is better for follow cams though...as you progress in cinematography you will realize that they aren't everything.

 

[eastAR5]

^word u gotta switch it up between long-lens, front/back follows, crane shots, standing fisheye etc

 

[[~_~]]

ooh front follows are tough shit. I wanna see someone do one on a jump.

 

[Calrin]

lead cam? yeah i just need to save $250 more and the panny is mine. victory!

 

[Literature]

The handle on the Panny sketches me out.

 

[ag.]

what the shit is a video camera?..i've never heard of them

 

[juanborlando]

hows the handle on the panny? stable? loks kinda bad...
