Professional HD Video Camera: What You Should Look for in One by Antoine Lindz

A professional HD video camera is one of the major tool of the trade that filmmakers - professional or amateur - should not do without. There are several video cameras in the industry that are specially designed for your needs. However, although there are so many High Definition camcorders in the market that are available only a few are noteworthy. These are the:

- Canon XH-A1 HDV Camcorder, - Sony HDR-FX7 Camcorder, - JVC GYHD110U MiniDV Camcorder, and; - Panasonic AG-HVX200.

The Canon XH-A1 HDV Camcorder

This is the younger and smaller version of the Canon XLH1DV. It also performs much like its big brother, the Canon XLH1DV. It has a low light performance which is a good feature for a professional HD video camera. However, being small has its drawbacks. It has no lens interchangeability unlike the bigger version. Customers are somewhat skeptical with the 30F and 24F frame rates too but some are finding it easy to adjust to. It also has a bad eyecup design and is quite heavy for a video camera. Nevertheless, this is still good for ENGs, budget documentarians, student filmmakers.

The Sony HDR-FX7 Camcorder

The Sony's consumer camcorder is the FX7. It has a clear VID CMOS sensors which make a fantastic impression in bright light. Under low light conditions, the performance disappointingly falls to pieces. It can however, omit XLR inputs and external audio level controls.

The JVC GYHD110U MiniDV Camcorder

The size and lens interchangeability is almost the same with the Canon XH-A1 HDV. It has a standard Fujinon 16x ProHD Lens. It comes with true progressive video at 720p but it doesn't offer interlaced video recording options. The resolution is close to XH A1's resolution. If you are the type of shooter who prefers larger camcorders and lens flexibility, buy a JVC GYHD110U.

Panasonic AG-HVX200

This camcorder uses the proprietary P2 tapeless recording system. It is able to record DVCPRO video DV tapes, but can only be recorded using Panasonic's solid state P2 memory cards or an external DTE drive like non-tape media. By using the P2 Cards, you can record non-stop and reduce the tape transfer time because of the camcorders 2 swappable P2 slots. The camcorder relies on pixel shifting to raise the resolution of its 3 1/3 " CCDs from 500k gross pixel count to a high definition resolution.

Each professional HD video camera mentioned above has its own unique properties that cater to different filmmakers needs. The decision is yours to make. It is up to the aspiring filmmaker to decide which camera will cater to his or her needs more. Is the camera worth the price? That is for the filmmaker to judge.

Video HD cameras, the most for the least?

I want to buy a HD video camera to record high quality video, Im not looking for a professional Sony $5000 dlls camera. We have a small local concession for a TV show and most of the work is gonna be done on the street with people, because all the big equipment is provided by the channel. I need something that i can connect an external mic in, and that gives me a decent image quality as well as performance. I had in mind something like the Panasonic SDR-H80, however I'm not to familiar with HD recording, so I come to the experts for advice... Also as a side note I need something that is friendly with computers of course. Thank you

Jorge,

I recommend you look at http://videomaker.com for fantastic reviews. I regularly frequent the forum there too.

Offhand, I'd also ask you to look at how often you plan on using on using the camcorder - you may be able to borrow or rent. Is HD necessary? I mean, it really accentuates skin blemishes and bad teeth. If it's just people on the street (no make-up or lighting) you could probably get away with a good standard-definition camcorder.

As for the microphone, many have inputs for an external mike. The higher end use XLR, you probably don't need that. My Sony HDR-FX1000s do just fine with the regular inputs, I regularly use with shotgun and wireless mikes. Good luck!!
