Recommend FullHD camcorder

Question

CCTV

Hello everybody.
I select a good household FullHD video camera.
On which drive should I take it: on HDD or on flash? How does the hard drive react to being shaken and worn all the time?

From what suits the characteristics and has good reviews:
- Sony HDR-XR350E, 1/4" EXMOR R CMOS 4.5 mm, HDD
- Sony HDR-CX550E, 1/2.9'' EXMOR R CMOS 6.3 mm, Flash
- Sony HDR-XR550E, 1/2.9" EXMOR R CMOS 6.3 mm, HDD

The last two differ only in the type of drive.

Advise on topics.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I would not recommend the listed cameras, they all shoot in interlaced mode. Then with processing only to be excruciated. In my opinion, interlacing in digital cameras is generally wild.
I recommend Samsung HMX-M20. I dealt with her, a very good camera for my little money. Shoots 1920×1080 50p.

Answer 2

At one time I took a canon HF100. Write to flash. The only thing in the maximum quality is that the battery lasts for an hour ... (See the Habr moderators, I started the sentence with a capital letter and even put a dot. Do not ban me for this for another 2 months)

Answer 3

When I had a choice of which camera to buy, the choice fell on the Sony HDR-CX550E. I am very satisfied with the purchase. The built-in memory is enough for a bang (well, or almost) later SDHC was purchased for 32 gigabytes. The main thing that pleases is the viewfinder, it helps a lot when the camera gets to the parents, because the father’s eyesight is not very good (+3) it’s not very convenient to look at the camera with glasses all the time. And in the viewfinder it is possible to adjust and everything is ok.

Answer 4

kefirr, Yes, I do not argue that "spherical" 50 frames are better than 50 half frames, but this is far from the main characteristic of the camera. Cinematography still somehow manages with 24 frames. In addition, 50 frames are also not in vain, because the shutter speed for them must be shortened with all the ensuing consequences. About TVs, in general, some kind of nonsense, because they ALL support interlaced scanning. Otherwise, the TV broadcast itself would be unrealistic to watch. You only need to "restore" the full frame if the display cannot correctly show such a signal, and this only applies to monitors.
I suspect that for some reason your TV did not switch to interlaced mode, which gave rise to such hatred. Before that, I had an ordinary (not HD-shnaya) Sonya HC-96E, but with it there was a vile comb on the monitor, and the cleanest picture on the TV set. Now, I repeat, even on a 24'' monitor from a distance of half a meter, it's more than watchable.

Answer 5

Take any 550th, or 500 with HDD if you get it cheaper. Hard or flash, in principle, do not care, see what is more profitable for you. Canons (HF100 and above) shoot better only in ideal conditions, in reality a bad stub affects. The lack of progress in the camera for a thing with extra bucks is really strange, but it's not a tragedy. In HD, interlacing is barely noticeable even on a progressive scan monitor.

Answer 6

You didn't say why you need a camera. Otherwise, it’s possible to offer the Panasonic AM-AF 100, but it will only be a little expensive.

Answer 7

Panasonic HDC-HS100 for example. Although I don’t understand cameras well, she was advised to me.

Answer 8

I bought a camcorder a week ago. I opted for Samsung HMX - H204
Compact, built-in memory, touchscreen display...
In addition to the price, the new matrix, which allows you to shoot even in very low light, is one of the undoubted advantages. Small size (you can put it in your pocket), recording in 1080i, zoom 20x, OIS is very high quality.
For my tasks, to quickly get and shoot important shots, it's great. Generally satisfied. I think it's worth a hundred of my money.
