I have the Sony PC-110. It's amazing. Super-light, durable and excellent video quality. What else do you want to know??


If you want to upload digi-video you would be best to also invest in a computer with a FIREWIRE input. You also have to buy the Firewire cable separately. Extra batteries and media cards are $$$ too.

I got this:


yoshi - who had a hard time using it the 1st time b/c it's the JDM version

 

yoshi's a baller~!!! geez man VX2000 nice camera....how much you looking to spend? sony does make nice cameras very hard to beat unless u look at Canon's GL1 which is a little cheaper then the vx2000. If you want a 3ccd camera, the sony dcrtrv900 is around 2k. If you want a basic one look into the DCRtrv17 or PC9

 

I just bought the Sony PC9. It's very small and affordable.

 

PC110.... i second that, great DV camera.

 

im in the process of making a camara system that will work great and is digital
color it will be afordable to i have one on my motorcycle and its water proof
ill let the board know when its done

 

Look forward to posting some mpeg taken with the PC110. Thanks guys

 

dont buy the PC110 for its mpg capability cos its very limited, max is 15seconds with good resolution.

 

That's only because it stores it on media card.

For true MPEG-1, you need a separate encoder/encoding software.

 

Sony VX2000 It is expensive but it also has 3CCDs

 

while everone is on the topic of uploading video. i have a quick question about that. i don't have a digital camera to start. i can watch and record the video on my computer, but when i record it it doesn't record the sound, but when i am just watching it it plays sound fine.
anybody able to give me a hint on how to get this to work?

thanks if you do

 

what kind of output do you have from your camera? If it's 3 (or 2)-component RCA, you'll have to get a little jack to convert the RCA for audio into a 1/8 in. jack . Plug that into the mic in on your soundcard (the red one if it's color coded) and you should be golden. I hope...let me know if it works

 

u pretty much should get a DV cam everything else is dying away
u get better picture & audio with DV

i like canon gear myself i have the zr30

canon is good for the 600 1000 price range then i would get into sony stuff

dont even think about taking dig stills with these cams, they all suck for that

 

YES! Make SURE you get Mini DV. Once you see it, you can never go back to the other crap. Use the S-Video cables, hook it up with stereo connections. You dont need to spend a load of money to get a good camera. My roommie got a kick *** deal from someone on Ebay. Ebay has a lot of cams at low prices that have never been used.

His camera is the JVC 4 hundred something

 

This pic was taken with the digital still function of the Sony PC110. I don't think it sucks do you??

 

Well when I still did mass com back in HS we use to use Professional Panasonic AG-400 series S-VHS which cost around $1,300 bucks.

The school just pickup two Canon XL1 3CCD Digital Camcorders at the cost of $3,500 a pop but they come with interchangable lenses and remotes.
Which is basically Sony competition in that range. But weighs 3lbs more mostly because of the extra huge lesnes it uses.

Also which is good because the college here just started using them the Sony DSR-PD150 DVCAM Digital camcorder. There very high end atleast in price with over 3 grand I'm told. You have to have a DVCAM Digital VCR to play it on I'm told as well.

This my baby which I will be using for business and business trips*hopfully before my Japan trip*. Released in Japan in mid June. Sony GT3/K:

DV camera built into a notbook with weight of only 2.4lbs.
At the cost of just under $2,900 bucks. But I plan to upgrade the ram to the max and quad capacity battary and panasonic portable ext. DVD/CD rewritable drive which weighs in at 1.1lbs. Price is going to be around 4 grand for the entire setup.
I hope to get it in Dec. which will probably have the new XP windows installed on it as it's suppose to be upgrading the notbook soon in Japan next month I believe.

 

Having lots of trouble finding a PC-110 unit below $1399 from any one who does'nt seem shady. I found one for $1100, but when I went to check out, I had to buy $300 "accessaries" battery and charger that "did not come with it".

 

Should have the pc110 tomorrow. Any recomendations on where to get good info on MPEG decoders etc. Appreciate any pointers for mounting and caveats WRT the R and where to mount it without a rollbar and so on.

 

do what i did, get the SOny Tripid (very sturdy unit), position it in the boot with all the spare tyres and **** out. Use lotssss of electrical tape to wrap the sucker up onto the rear strut bar. It works great for me, very steady.... actually it doesnt even budge when taking corners etc.

 

Tanks Maing!
