Thanks for this information. I am not in the market for a comcorder at the present time but you gave me something to think about when I am. Ruth

In all likelihood I’m going to be upgrading to a Canon HV-20 in the next few months. If for no other reason than because it can shoot 24p (it’ll save a TON of time on de-interlacing footage if you’re the kind that tries to go for that “film look”

I’ve always had great luck with Sony cameras, still or video. I have one of the lower end handycam models right now (dvd), but i’m looking in to getting one of the new high def model in the next couple of months. I will probably go with a hard drive model next time as well.

You seem to forget how hard it was to find tapes when we were in Texas. Also… more tapes = more $

I love having a Hard Drive camera! I transfer the files to my computer just in case I drop the camera when I am hanging out the window.

When I decided to buy a camera, I was determined to get a Hard Disk model; all the files are copied to the laptop for editing, and then to an external hard disk for back up purposes. (Back up, back up, back up!)

I’d much rather a directory full of files than a drawer full of tapes… I hope you label them well. lol

Hi guys,whats up? I love my new jvc camcorder! Its model # gz-mg130u,Its a hybrid,meaning it can record to hard drive or sd card.It has a 30gb hard drive and 34x optical zoom(see video i filmed from 150 yards away).Bestbuy.com had it on sale for only$430! oh yea,it has a remote control & a timelapse fuction too.Nalts,you wont have to worry about hard drives crashing for much longer,they are developing flash memory hard drives for PCs,i think some are already out for laptops,i cant wait until the first desktop model is out. well,id better eat something before i pass out,or maybe i’ll have a glass of wine,pass out,then eat something!

I frequently have trouble hearing the audio in your videos. I think you should consider putting up subtitles for lines that are difficult to hear, the way bunsandchouchou does. Not every line – just the occasional one that is 1) not coming through because the camera is too far away from the action or there is too much wind or whatever; and 2) funny.

Now that I know I can blame this on your camera instead of my ears, I feel entitled to criticise and make special requests. That is all for now.
