It would be great of course like you say to capture directly to a JPEG codec as you wouldn't need a disk array like with the uncompressed. |
I talked to my local store today, and was told that Panasonic plans a range of hard drive cameras next year, and that JVC might have their HD hard drive camera out by Christmas.
Intensity will record to Photo Jpeg live as far as I know. It was discussed in the news thread on the AVCHD that was taken down to be repaired. Chris was planning to put it back up again, but it looks like it didn't. It had most of the answers on Intensity's HDMI capture. |
I'm still curious, will this HDMI be interlace?
|
The Panasonic site says it sends 1080i or 480p out over HDMI, whatever that means.

Besides the included memory card I think the other reason why the HDC-SD1 is more expensive is because it’s more attractive to the consumer because of the compact size and the DVD version looks awkward. At least that’s my opinion.

I agree, but the reality should be different, the disk mechanism costs, and the disks cost less.
Wes, can we trust that to be the full story. Unless it has progressive, I think I will skip now. I would prefer 50fps progressive. |

But I agree the DVD version looks odd. The official page for that model is here: http://panasonic.jp/dvc/dx1/ Jerry Jones http://www.jonesgroup.net |

If it has video quality like that, it would be acceptable. This is what I expected from the higher latitude, bigger sensor pads, in the pixel shifted CCD's. Looks like the Sanyo HD1 a little, but without the compromises. But video quality can always be dumbed down.
Too expensive, if they only had progressive 1080 24mb/s, or half the price. As it is it has to compete with better HDV cameras. I would love to see the video reviews. |
Interesting that the bulkier but cheaper DVD model has a viewfinder and the SD model does not -- though I am not sure how useful it is with the battery sticking out of the back.
The SD-1 is attractive for me, but I would like to know what Sanyo's next move will be. I have certainly been pleased with the HD-1, and AVCHD seen so far doesn't look that fabulous on the HDTV. |

FL of the new Pani corders?
Does anyone know how to translate the listed FL for this new Pani camcorder into 35mm equivalent?
Is the conversion just the ratio of the 1/4" to 35mm (5.51:1)? I don't this so because the #'s just don't 'add up' given the stated FL's of Does anyone know how to translate the listed FL for this new Pani camcorder into 35mm equivalent? The listed FL is 3-30 mm. Thanks JohnG |
Pana SD1 AVCHD
Hello,
I had the opportunity to use one during one day, and my first (and ok.. very light) sensations are : 1- I small, looks very close to a HC3 very different from previous Pana SD Card camcorder 2- no viewfinder, small but good screen 3- obvious command organization, no need to open the book 4- can accept a mic (mic input) 5- rather quick start for the rest it's like any other small camcorder. The results ar rather good. I've been immensely disappointed by Sony AVCHD that provides good images by good light but has a high, too high, far too high noise level as soon s the light goes down It's not a measurement -like advice, just my eyes advice but Panasonic noise level seem much much better By good light the images are surprisingly good. I think its a rather good camera probably better then the Sony The problem right now is the software to convert files I've not seen it but I've been told that it's no way better than the Sony one and the Sony one is awful.
