Re: Camcoder
I sold my SD camera. Currently waiting for the prices go down for HDV and how the AVCHD cameras will take control.

Re: Camcoder
I know that now is about time to prefer HD cams, but I'm thinking of this beauty atm:

It's recommended by many. What do you think about it?
Edit: Is it possible to shoot a good Metallica show using this corder?

Re: Camcoder
i have a dvd cam and its a bitch, you can only record like 20min in XP quality and 30min on SP. when its time to try and edit the videos on the pc is fuckin hard to extract the videos from the mini dvd.
also if the camera gets too shaky it wont record properly.

Re: Camcoder
Don't know TayfunRaider who could actually recommend that camera, besides salesmen. The camera you suggested records standard definition video. DVD-cameras are obsolite. I'd rather buy HDD (Harddrive) then dvd-cam.
Only pros I think are
-DVD-cameras that you don't have to author. Just insert it to your dvd-player
-Share it with your friends by mailing them.
Cons:
-With best picture quality only 20min recording times. You'd need many disc to record a full show.
-They get scratched
-They video is already packed to mpg2.
-The editing is somewhat different.
-The disc needs to be formatted, takes time.
Get HDV/AVCHD if you are gonna film with the camera in the future to come.

Re: Camcoder
i filmed all my shows with a SONY Handycam DCR-HC27E and i'm quite satisfied with the video and audio quality.
yes, and i wouldn't buy a dvd cam....too many cons with that!!

Re: Camcoder
Yeap Bernd... Im plan to film Metallica in Prague, maybe Slayer in Slovakia and other shits 
I thinkink about:
Panasonic SDR-H280 (looking great IMO, but... price)
Panasonic SDR-H40 (great zoom 42x !!! good price, but only 1ccd)
Panasonic NV-GS330 (miniDV, but great picture quality)
JVC Everio GZ-MG255 (havent optical stabilization, but good price)
I plan to buy camera after 1-1,5 month

Don't look for Zooms like 42x... Have you ever seen what kinda picture it is when you zoom all the way? Slightest move you make will look like a earthquake in the picture unless you use tripod, but I doubt it since you are doing a bootleg recording. Also the Vignetting starts to effect on the picture.
