HD Camcorder

sgtPepper · Mar 19, 2008

Namjeravam kupiti HD Camcorder. Poslije malo surfanja na netu, uži izbor je pao na Sony HD ili Canon HD kamere. Dvoumim se da li da uzmem camcorder sa HDD-om ili MiniDV-om. I nešto mi nije jasno sa ovim MiniDV-om : Da li se uvijek moraju kupovati nove kasete ili samo jednostavno ponovo prebacim na početak kasete i automatski se briše video koji je bio prije snimljen ? Ne netu se veoma hvali Canon HV20, ima li neko još iskustva sa ovim HD kamerama, kakve su, gubi li se kvalitet kada se prebacuje na PC ... ?
Hvala unaprijed na odgovoru.

Ako uzmes canon HV20 (HV30 izasao nedavno) onda koristis miniDV kasete koje izgledaju isto kao i svaka miniDV kaseta osim sto je ova
namjenjena za HD snimanje 15 eura komad ( obicna 2 eura ) i njena oznaka za minutazu pise 63 minute.
To 63 se vjerovatno odnosi na 1080i video. primjerSony DVM63 High Definition miniDV cassette
Citajuci po forumima primjetio sam da losije medije imaju kako kazu veliki "dropout" pa se time moze izgubiti na kvaliteti snimka.
Kasete se naravno mogu presnimiti bas kao i stara dobra VHS traka.

I ja sam nedavno bio zainteresovan za HD cam, i evo isjecak koji vrijedi paznje za canon hv20.

What You Get

* Battery (7.4 V, 1200 mAh/LiIon)
* Charger
* Cables (A/V, Component, USB)
* Wireless remote controller
* CD (Windows and Mac) with software and manual

What You Don’t Get

* Neck strap
* IEEE 1391 cable (FireWire)
* Mini SD card
* Separate charger
* Blank miniDV tape

Strengths:
Like most palm-sized cameras, it is light-weight and, thankfully, assisted with a super-range optical image stabiliser (OIS). The "super range" bit means it also compensates for the small tremors caused by breathing and swaying hands.

I look for the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo on anything that could be connected to my computers because some of my existing peripherals are not compatible with Vista.

Vista users can transfer, edit and publish high-definition video without the need for special software - Windows Movie Maker (WMM) works fine for the home user. My unit shipped with a pre-Vista version of Canon’s ZoomBrowser EX software, so I had to get the updater (version 5.8b at the time of writing). For my level of use, WMM will suffice.

You can shoot in high definition Cinema Mode with 24 fps progressive (24p) or just HDV 16:9 widescreen mode. You can also shoot in standard definition, 16:9 or 4:3 modes. If you are stuck with your last tape, you can use Long Play and get an extra 50% recording capacity.

You can take still photos at 3.1 MP, which is fine for small prints, or at 2 MP while shooting video. We are spoiled by the 7-plus megapixel cameras, so using the HV20 should be regarded as an emergency situation. A built-in flash helps in poor light. The accessory shoe suits external microphones or lighting to be mounted there and powered through the battery (or charger).

I like to use the viewfinder more than the LCD panel (which is incredibly sharp), so the dioptic adjustment was appreciated. The LCD also does the job of displaying various settings. I also like the fact that it uses DV tape and not a hard drive, which would need to be emptied once it filled up. That would entail carrying a laptop computer, or one of those storage devices made for that purpose when away from home.

Windows Movie Maker in Vista

I have Windows Vista Ultimate running on my desktop, which now has a FireWire (IEEE 1391) card to facilitate a video transfer. The OS no trouble detecting the card and the latter happily saw the Canon HV20 when it was plugged in with the FireWire cable.

Windows Movie Maker makes it easy to edit video from the Canon HV20. The supplied Canon Zoombrowser EX enables further modification to the video and many other features that apply to Canon's still cameras.

Weaknesses:
My main gripe is the absence of a FireWire cable and a Mini SD card. For some reason (possibly the firewall, but I didn’t see a message to that effect), the computer wouldn’t see the camera because the only Mini SD card I happened to have was from a phone and it was formatted differently. This came up as an error and I had visions of shipping the camera back to Canon. I bought a new card and everything was sweet after that. Had Canon managed to engineer the HV20 for a normal sized SD card, I’d be operational sooner.

Similarly, a FireWire card was in my son’s Windows XP PC, so moving it to my Vista desktop was a pain. I have more RCA A/V cables than devices so I didn’t need another one, but an extra FireWire cable would have been handy.

I have also been unable to get my own Windows XP PC to see the camera at all. I have to load the Windows Vista drive to transfer and edit my movies. As the camera is labelled as "Designed for Windows XP", I expect this to be a solvable issue.

My earlier cameras came with a separate charger, so you could charge a spare battery during some family occasion, such as a wedding. It was a pain to pack the charger, so it’s a mixed blessing that the HV20 acts as a charger and you connect it to the power pack. You just cannot charge a second battery without buying a separate charger.

Imam i video sa te kamere, u full hd-u, glava boli kako dobro izgleda na monitoru a tek mogu mislit kvalitete na kakvoj plazmi ili lcd-u.
