Is the Sony HDR-SR10 40GB High Definition Handycam Camcorder a good buy? I have been researching HD video cameras and this seems like a good choice. What I was wondering, however, is this: would this camera be good for family/travel, short films, and editing? What I need is a camera that offers no video compression, which, as I understand, is what this camera offers. I would need the footage to be uploaded to my PC without losing any quality and then have it available to edit with my Sony Vegas 7.0. Also, if that is what this camera offers, is there any other camera that offers the same specifications, but for a more affordable price? Thanks for the help.

I'm looking 2 buy an inexpensive digital camcorder. Does high definition or AVCHD really make a difference? What I want to buy is a camcorder with at least x60 optical zoom, it doesn't matter whether its flash memory or HDD. I want something that is best for filming at night especially at concerts where it is dark. Something that can zoom in really well and clearly to the performer. And I also want to know whether it really makes a difference if ur just shooting amateur stuff like recordings from concerts to have a full high definition or AVCHD (sony & panasonic) camcorder? And btw what is the difference between optical and digital zoom? Like on the sony site it says this particular camera has an Optical / Digital Zoom of 60x / 2000x. What the heck does that mean? Thanks for your help!

Which camcorder technology would be best for creating internet broadcasted educational videos? I have a limited budget for a camera. $400-$700.

The quality of the video for my web site will be better than You Tube, but not as high as standard DVD quality – something in between. It seems I get good value from a high quality MiniDV camcorder like the Panasonic PV-GS500 with exceptional video quality in standard definition. On the other hand, some low end High Definition camcorders from Sony or Canon also seem attractive. Which technology would be best for my purposes? And why?

Is an HD Cameracorder simple enough to quickly edit clips and post on YouTube? I am planning to buy a Sony HDR-SR11. It is a 60GB Hard Drive High-Definition Camcorder. Will that be simple enough to quickly edit clips and post full videos on YouTube or should I buy a simpler non-HD camera instead?

How do you convert an .MTS file? Camcorder help needed!? I have a Sony Digital Camcorder, with a high-definition hard drive. I took a few video clips on it. On the camcorder itself, the clips show up in its "gallery" thing as seperate video clips. I have to take these clips, put them on the computer, and make a movie by stringing them all together in the proper order, and I thought I'd use Windows Movie Maker for that. But when I conncted the camcorder thing to the computer, the screen on the camcorder just says "connecting" but it doesn't ever say "connected" I waited a long time..but still! On the computer, I went to "My Computer" and opened up the icon that says "removable disk." All these weird files and things came up, but I couldn't open any of them! don't remenber exactly what was in there, but some names I remember that were on the folders were "STREAM" and a name with a bunch of letters. The main thing is, Windows couldn't open any of them. It ddn't recognize the program it was coming from. I went to the Sony site, other software sites to do this, I downloaded softwares and programs, and whatnot...but it's still not working! I was told that I need to open the MTS files. How do I do this? I have a Windows XP by the way. Thanks in advance! Please help, this is a school project that's due this week, monday! Plzzzzz...

Mini DV Cassettes, High Definition (HD) vs Normal? I have a normal Sony mini DV camcorder and I have been looking at buying new tapes. I found some which are high definition 63 minute mini DV (or DVC) and I was wondering do these work in every mini DV camera or only in High Definition cameras?

What camera should i get for stop motion animatios? I was wondering what the best camera to buy is for new and good looking animations. Im only 14 and have been using a very bad small web cam. I't would be good if it were a camcorder and i have been looking at the SONY HDR-CX11 High Definition Camcorder and the Sony HDR-SR11. Im not sure if these will even work for stop motion animation beacue of the issue of live view with hard disk drive cameras but the HDR-CX11 is a flash memory stick camera but i dont know if that makes a difference. Im also open to the idea of a digital still camera. I'm open to any sujestions, thanks :D

Final word from techies? Final Word from Techies: A lot of confusion exits regarding video quality (resolution, performance and editing) with regards to format and definition. Below I have attempted to quantify these parameters with 1 being of most poor quality and 7 being the best top most quality. I have taken only consumer camcorders into considerations which are manufactured by JVC, Sony, Panasonic and cannon. The Grading is follows: Standard def: miniDV (3), DVD (2), HDD(1) 3CCD St Def: miniDV (5), DVD (4), HDD (3) High Definition: miniDV (7), DVD (5), HDD (4) Do you agree with my above analysis? Techies please give your final opinion and comments.

Which Computer for Video Editing? I have a Sony HDR-HC1E (High Definition) camcorder and am looking to get a new laptop/desktop for video editing. I'm not fussed if it's a PC or a Mac but it obviously needs to be able to handle the demands and I don't want to break the bank too much.

Canon HG10 vs Sony HDR-SR5? Hey Experts Kindly help me to choose the best High Definition Camcorder with Harddisk. Most of the purpose would be indoor, to capture my son's activities.

Both have 40GB /10X optical / Image stabilization. Thankyou Naveen

Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder: .m2ts to MPEG-2? When I convert an AVCHD .m2ts file to an MPEG-2 file via Sony's Picture Motion Browser software, I notice that the converted MPEG-2 file is ridden with subtle horizontal lines. It is very obviously no longer in High Definition. How can I fix this? Am I missing a codec? The horizontal lines don't affect the quality of the picture too much, but they are definitely noticeable on the edges of the objects being filmed. And yes, I do have an HD monitor.

Is razzphoto.com or photodynasty.com reliable? I am looking to purchase a High Definition camcorder for a reasonable price. I have narrowed my choices down to a Sony HDR-HC9 and a Canon HV30.

Is this just an extremely good deal, or really too good to be true? Also any good information about either of these cameras would be greatly appreciated, as well as insight about these websites.
