we like the JVC GY HM150u
Nice cam Michael...but 1/4 inch chips. I looked at it last year when researching new cameras...but have since dumped out of Apple products, which is one of the main reasons for purchasing one of those. My Panasonic AG-HMC10 has 1/3" chips and everything else offered by the JVC. (although I do give you the dual slots)we like the JVC GY HM150u
Do you mean HMC150? The HMC10 is a little POV lip stick camera with a cable down to the recorder.My Panasonic AG-HMC10 has 1/3" chips and everything else offered by the JVC. (although I do give you the dual slots)
Sorry...Panasonic HMC150/been having issues with typos this week.Do you mean HMC150? The HMC10 is a little POV lip stick camera with a cable down to the recorder. Sony NX5u & Panasonic AC130 / AC160 are good cameras to investigate.
SLO..... If your editing on Mac/Final Cut... Go with the JVC- GY-HM 100U... Can find them on ebay all day for 1700 to 2500.00... I use two of them with the GY-HM 700U. Yea people say they are not that great in low light. Shooting news as I do. I have lights on my camera's, and at night shooting 95% of the scenes I have been at, there is plenty of light from police cars, fire trucks etc.Looking to get a camera for freelance stringer ENG work. Ive been pretty set on the Sony NX5U but its got a hefty pricetag - considering trying to enter the world a bit softer than plopping down $4k for my first HD video camera.
Im seeing quite a bit said in favor of the XHA1 as a good entry level camera, but most was from 3, 4, 5 years ago. Is this camera still relevant for use today, at least for a 6 months - a year or so while I decide if this is something thats worth more investment in?
Otherwise - what could you recommend thats in the $1500 and under range that would be good for freelance ENG stringer work as a first camera?
Thanks!
