Just picked up a Sony HD cam today ...

Which one did you pick up? I've got an HDR-HC5 I'm going to be trying out on Tuesday.

Went with the HDRCX100B as I got it for 600 even and it is Flash Memory as everyone, including the guy I bought it from was saying that Hard Drive cams were not suitable for what I want it for.

This thing is so tiny. It should be no problem getting this little thing in.

Nice, I've looked at that one. Mine is a MiniDV / HDV unit, got it almost brand new (used once for a dance recital) for $285. Couldn't pass it up.

Anyway, looking forward to a review once you've taken it for the proverbial spin.

Sorry for the thread hijack, cotis!

Yeah Sorry Cody for the hijack.

Cool cam and even better price. I just went new as I never found anything for that good a deal. Flash cards are a little expensive, but the good thing is that they are reusable, unlike tapes for DV where they are more or less a one time deal.

Apart from just doing a little filming outside, which has been deleted already, just checked it out. 1st trial is going to be Mastodon May 5th in Toronto if I can.

If GNR comes to Toronto in the Summer I will film it.

But that is a big WHAT IF? Nobody knows what's up with Axl these days.

Just picked up a Sony HD cam today along with an External Blu Ray burner.

Great, what external Blu-Ray Burner did you buy????

I grabbed a Panasonic UJ-210. Just needed something small as I just bought another DL burner a couple weeks ago because one of the lasers went.

I only have 1 slot for Drives, so External was the way to go. $100 bucks and it is 2.0 USB.

Some of them save to MPEG2/.m2ts .mts also some of the High Def JVC'S save to .TOD format you can check out google for more info, but when you know find one you like check the internet to see what format it saves to

My brother has this camera: Jazz HDV178 Hi def 720P camcorder

I am thinking of trying it out for bootlegging this monday for Lamb of God. Does anyone know how the audio quality will be on this? Im sure the video will be great.

doesnt seem like it:

5. Audio quality:
Since we're all used to the regular camcorder sound quality one would expect kind of same. Here is what the situation is: The microphone is good for recording voices within 10feet and you wont be able to understand what the people are saying if they are further away. Similarly, one should not expect good audio from concerts etc.

I guess I could alway film Metallica and dub Livemet audio on it lol
