XH-G1 vs. HMC-150 at DVinfo.net

David Olivo · December 18th, 2008, 07:06 AM

I have both a Panasonic HMC-150 which records in AVCCAM format on SDHC and a Canon XH-G1 which records on HDV/MiniDV tape and has a 'JackPack' with Genlock, Timecode, and HD/SDOUT.

I'm trying to decide which to keep. I'm leaning towards the Panasonic just because I've used Panasonics before, and I don't have any equipment yet that makes use of the 'Jackpack' on the Canon.

Whichever one I keep, i'm going to have to sell the other of course.

My preference would be for the Canon because of its high resolution, lens, proven reliability and HDV tape capability. The Jackpack is an added bonus if you should ever need it.
