Under 3 grand huh?
I wouldn't buy one for under 3 grand at this point. I have a Sony FX1 and although I have seen them online for under 3k, I would not trust any company that offered them at that price. I think I paid 3,200 or 3,300 locally for mine. |

Not only would I recommend it but I researched it for a few months before buying it. Every review by well known companies favored the FX1 over the competition. |

Is the HDR-HC1 the predecessor of the HDR-FX1 or is it just a smaller/lighter/cheaper lower end product?

i THINK they both came out about the same time, and the hc1 is the less expensive version without as many bells & whistles i've seen a couple of sites shot with the hc1 and the quality looks good to my eyes, example: http://www.cravingcarmen.com/carmenpromo.wmv www.cravingcarmen.com ![]() |

The FX1 is great if you are creating content that will actually be relased on HD DVDs or Blue Ray (in the future).
HD for the web is complete bullshit. I can get better looking SD web video from pro SD cams then using these HDV cams. And I doubt any of you have used these HDV cams as much as I have. Rez is not everything. Also the low light performance sucks balls compared to the VX2100 so if you are one of the masses who use "full auto mode" then you better make sure you subject is the brightest part of the picture or else the autofocus will not be reliable at all. FYI, the cheaper Sony HC1 looks like dogshit when compared to the FX1 on a large screen HD monitor. So if you are going the HDV route then stick with the FX1/Z1.

Blue ray... the format that will be the betamax of HD. Microsoft made a choice, and HP followed them (flip flopping away from blue ray) - blueray is NOT their choice.
Insomniac: If your camera is shooting higher quality than you even intend to release stuff in, then yeah, stay where you are. But if you want to maximize potential profits (like reselling stuff later) you want to shoot it in a format that has some hope for the future). Alex |

Like I said, for viewing on the web I think HD is bullshit unless the viewer will be watching the videos on a large screen TV. If you think much of your audience will be watching the videos on their HDTVs in a few years then perhaps you should shoot on HDV. People seem to hate spending all that money on their TV and then watching SD video or 4x3 aspect ratio shows.

If it's made for the internet and .wmv on top of that, an HDV camera is total overkill today. The video that ends up online will never be nearly as good as the source video. The above video may have been shot with a very nice camera, but the end result after encoding is just average. That video could be replicated using a camera costing much, much less. The internet simply can not yet handle the video capabilities of a high end camera, and considering everything it's going to be a decade before we can stream it. On the other hand, having great source video now is an insurance that you'll have usable content far down the road after re-encoding by tomorrow's standards. Imagine if source video that was shot in 1996 for the internet lived up to today's production standards after re-encoding. That material could still be used on quality sites instead of going on megasites and AVS. |

Bull fucking shit. I give it 6 months to a year. At present Full HDV downloads are possible at some great bit rates. Its all in bit rate always has been in the bit rate and always will be in the bit rate and alot of you neophytes believe consumers will not wait to download the shit. YOU ARE DEAD WRONG.

Simple demos.
Alot of you people have the self proclamation on what Internet Audiences construe as worth buying. We aint no High HollyWood Production Media House with 6 figure budgets for a 30 second ad slot, no one in Adult is. We relie on nice parlar tricks with whatever we can get our hands on to entertain. We use the cheapest methods in Photography and Video to deliver a "Quality" product. At the end of the day it is a "Quality" product. Simple Sample http://www.theplayersball.com/cypress2005.wmv Simple Sample http://www.ialien.com/kaylabts1.wmv To some thats awesome, to others is cheap parlar tricks its a matter of perspective and believing you need the absolute best equipment, most state of the art technology is the fucken stupidest shit I ever heard spew from content producers mouths as of late. iALien entered HDV production with under 5K in expenses. I made the best of my resources on the cheap like a good pornographer should to deliver a quality product. Thats what Adult is about.

so fucking true. great hardware is only great hardware---tons of mediocre footage shot by nice hardware---that surfers won't even want to look at, much less pull out a CC for---mostly total shit from so-called "content producers." and then there's innovation stuff shot with shit cameras, check the video samples on http://burningangel.com/ for example. creativity will always be number one when it comes to conversion. |

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems that alot of you are saying that if a person is shooting for the web it doesn't matter what kinda video camrea you use. Is that right? If so, then I really don't need to upgrade from my Canon GL2 to the Sony FX1 for a few more years unless I plan on making HD DVDs correct?

well if you already have a GL2 personally i would not upgrade right this moment. wait at least a year. GL2 is a great cam capable of creating better web video than anything we've seen in this thread ![]() |

But you have missed the point of what the people that really use this camera is. Even if it is six mnths or a year down the road, having that HD contnet on hand is going to be priceless. Get the FX1 I really beleive that once teh online tech, picks up with the cameras tech, the price of these HD cameras are going to go up I would think. 3k - 3.5k for a caera of this quality is a great deal. |

can you do 16:9 widescreen with a "regular" vx2100, or can only HD cameras do that ?
