What Camera do you use?

[Paladin1221]

I currently have a Canon GL-1 (have had if for almost a year) My GL-1 has been signed by geoff from Pure Pwnage (Actor Kyle)

I plan to buy a HVX200 or Canon XH-A1 in the next year or so.

[DefusedProductions]

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC30 at the moment. Not a bad camera, pretty good picture. Plan on upgrading, thinking about ditching tapes for my next one.

[Brainstrained]

Canon ZR-500. My first camcorder :)

I love it but I really do need to get a better mic. for it.

[PlasmaP]

Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with a mini dv.

Ok, it isn't that bad, but I'd rather not have the "Whiiirrr" sound in the background.

I don't think I'm qualified to say that phrase.

[D00MB0X]

I use a 5 meg VuPoint DV-DA1-VP.

Its that 150 dollar camera at Walmart :grumble: But it totally rocks!:D

Just the battery life is HORRIBLE! but eh, it gets the job done...sometimes...

[sandmanfvr]

Ok, Sony TRV-280. Yes, Digital HI 8. I use it mainly for the nightshot in Ghost Hunting (http://www.freewebs.com/roseparanormal)

The picture is just ok, but good for a night shot ghost hunting camcorder and such. I need to upgrade, but with friend and I working on our first movie, we will see what camcorder we can get. Maybe get a favor and get a kick ass camcorder. :)

it will be my 1st real camcorder

[Cuboos]

mines a cannon ZR 700, my only regret is, it doesn't have a mic jack.

[Kyll]

I use an Sony HDR-HC7. Works great for me, but I had to buy an AIS to Hotshoe adapter so I can put my Rode Mics on it (Rode Stereo X/Y VideoMic and the Rode VideoMic).

My buddy thought he'd one up me by getting the 100GB Hardrive based version, but when we were filming a live band, there was to much vibration and his camcorder just wouldn't record! Thank you MiniDV!

I've had mine for almost 6 years and the thing is a workhorse. LOVE it.

[ian]

I used to use an XL1s, but I sold it recently.

[Amiah]

Panasonic GR-D340

A kinda cheap, userfriendly, consumers-cam.
Not very great picture, awefull mic en no option to use an external mic.
But hell, my parents use it for their holiday-movies and the rest of the year I can use it for free...
It's fun for small stuff and for making films for the internet the quality isn't that bad.


http://www.saletronics.nl/images/gr-d340-120x120.jpg





And I made some short films with my friends and we always used a Sony PD-170 camera.
Well, that is a lot better :D

I'm getting a cheap mini DV camcorder by samsung with a flashlight in it next month, dont really know what model it is >< (only just started getting into the whole ''filming'' thing)

[daydreamer1]

For my first videos,I used Aiptek IS-DV and For my actuall movies,Iuse a Sony HandyCam

[Paladin1221]

GL1 crew REPRESENT!

I've had mine for almost 6 years and the thing is a workhorse. LOVE it.

I can't bare to sell it when I go for an HD camera, so I think I may retire it to my wall. But the battery has never died on me during a shoot since I bought it.

[WesScog]

I shoot on the Sony HDR-SR1.

http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-HDR-SR1-First-Impressions-Camcorder-Review.htm


It is really cool, 4MP HD video, 60 GB internal hard drive, it's really nice.

It's really streamlined my process of shooting, no more tapes to mess around with, and as long as its powered I can realistically shoot almost all day and not stop.

It has an internal mic mount, and it has a focus ring, so I can get true depth to my footage, instead of more "flat" looking images in cameras without focus rings.

It's a really wonderful camera, never had any issues with it, and I think i'm going to keep it for a while.

[Spleg]

Panasonic NV-GS500

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f4/No-Excuses/PanaNV-GS500.png

Yes sir, I've had a Panasonic DVX100A for...wow, 3 years now. I spent all the money I had in the world on it at the time, but I love it. It's a real work horse, and the image quality is great. If I were to upgrade (which I'm not, living in Los Angeles is a little expensive), I'd definitely be looking at the HVX200.

[ian]

I own a Sony V1U right now, and it pretty much equals sex.

I practically get laid every night just for carrying it around.

:love: V1U REPRESENTIN':love:

[oblenob]

sorry typed wrong thing

[Grandma]

I've got a Sony Handycam DCR-HC45, not very happy with it though, it is very noisy and I seem to get a lot of jerky bits in my film too. :(

[FyceDesigns]

I gots myself a Sony DCR-DVD 108 Handycam. The picture quality's pretty good.

-Fyce

[benjaming]

I have 2 cam's myself. One is collecting dust cause I not know how long the battery last lol. It is a panasonic omimovie It is like almost 20 years old. My other one is a JVC Gv MG 20. It does not take tape it is hardrive

[futuresphere]

Yup, I also rock the GS500 after upgrading from the GS250...

The 500 doesnt have a headphone jack...that was disappointing.

[John the Fish]

Well, once I get a job, im looking at the Sony VX2100.http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3/JohnFisher_01/SonyVX2100.jpg

[Jacob-ne-a]

i use a sony handycam DCR-DVD305 Its no canon but it dose the trick

[tonz0phun]

I don't have any camera at the moment, I let my brother use it for a skate film his friends were doing and they dropped it in a puddle and fried the inside. So yea, no camera. It was an old Sony, one of the first mini DV's if I remember correctly. I am however saving up for a JVC HD camera (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8225066&type=product&id=1166840341098). Hoping to have it before Christmas. Wish me luck!

[John the Fish]

like a vx1000? If so thats a shame.

[Spleg]

Yup, I also rock the GS500 after upgrading from the GS250...

The 500 doesnt have a headphone jack...that was disappointing.
Yeah, that's annoying, isn't it? You can use an RCA to 3.5mm jack adaptor on the A/V out and plug your headphones into that, but that's a really clumsy way of doing it when they could just have given it a headphone jack.

[futuresphere]

Exactly my fix as well. B&H has some radtastic external monitors that I could have run sound from too, but thats just a wee bit overblown for mini-dv (despite looking cool)...$1k vs $1.50? Obviously the choice was clear ;)

[SyxxGage]

Sadly, due to financial reasons, I had to sell off my equipment. All Im left with is my still camera, which suprisingly records good video and picks up the sound decently. My other camera I still have is a Canon 514XL. It's an old Super 8mm film camera that shoots in 24fps. I'm actually writing a short film specifically for use with this.

[SuperRyan]

DCR-SR40

I'm a HDD kind of man and I'm looking to upgrade soon, probably try and get some shotgun mic or boom capabilities.

[OKTV]

I have a few cameras, here's a list

Sony HVR-Z1U 1/3-Inch 3-CCD HDV Camcorder
Sony HVR-A1U HiDef HDV Video Camera
Sony HDR-HC7 HiDef HDV Video Camera
Sony DCR-PC110 Video Camera
Sony DCR-PC7 Video Camera
JVC GR-D90U Video Camera
Oregon Scientific ATC-2K Waterproof ActionCamera

Some of you may say "What the heck do you need so many cameras for?"

Because, I like 'em. :fcross:

I edit on a MacPro 8 core using Final Cut Studio.

I also have an older G5 dual processor that I run Final Cut Express on.

I shoot a lot of school productions, sports, etc.

I would like to shoot more performance type stuff.

[spicysmoke]

I have some old sony, its pretty basic but does the job, im looking to get a better one next year sometime.

[Imbender]

Uh, I wish I had the funds to buy a Hollywood ready set-up or something even near a pro-sumer setup. I was using a school Handycam but have just bought a Panasonic Pv-GS300 and cain't wait for it to come.

[cubes]

I have 2 Panasonic Ag-456, 1 AG-D400P SVHS. I'm looking to aquire 2 more AG-456's so as to have multiple angles of footage simutaneously in case the desired shot doesn't work out still have extra footage instead of re-shooting. Capturing through pinacle studio movie box plus, and editing with studio movie plus v11. the Ag's are cheap and have many manual features. I was surprised how the catured video looked, clear and detailed. And it even captures in widescreen through the movie box. A piece of advice I remember is use whatever you have, it's how the story is told, not necessarily what you use to tell it....

[Solo0312]

Just picked me up a nice Panasonic DVX-100A on eBay! I love it!!

[funkychunk]

Im using a normal digital camera i630 Polaroid 6MP. Been wanting a real video camera for years but can never afford a decent 8mm or MiniDV :(

I even tried ebay many times but they are normally to much for me.

[bubblefax]

I have a sony 40 gb handy cam

[BonOfTheDead]

I plan to buy a HVX200 or Canon XH-A1 in the next year or so.
i understand, ill be honored to be given your old camera...

[Apocalypse WOW!]

Canon GL-2!

[BackyardProductions]

a sony hi8 handycam thingy

[devin]

Got a couple cameras I actually use,

Canon XL1s
Canon XH-A1
Sony DCR-TRV720

Each is useful, the XL1s not so much since I got the XH-A1 but it is still useful when I want people to part ways when I walk through a crowd. I really like the Sony because it has a IR mode and the fact that its a Digital 8 camera so i can still capture old Digital 8 and Hi8 tapes.

I have a Steadicam Pilot coming in the mail, should be in next week which will give me something completely new to learn and use.

[moviemansam89]

I have a canon ZR200, the microphone on it sucks and it doesn't have a mic. jack!!!!

[grosenblum]

I have a Sony Handycam that came out in 2003, I think. But for my new movie I am using my friend's Sony HDR-FX1.

[the re-animator]

i have a panasonic gs320

[SanitySource]

Im using the new HV20 with the Rode shotgun mic, bought it 2 days ago. its underadvertised, but its the best quality camera on the market right now, do your homework. its made by cannon, they wont advertise it because they want everyone to switch to hard drive cameras (hv20 is full HD and ts mini DV)
Its sort of like how when Beta video was around they switched to VHS , even though Beta was better than VHS. it was newer. thats just like the hard drive cameras, im hard on those cameras because on a minidv when you run out of space you pop in another tape, with those you gotta clear the whole hard drive. and graphics are better cuz the image is actually being burnt into film

[ZeroDark]

I've been using a mini DV camera, Canon ZR300 for quite some time and it have never let me down so I'll still use it until I save enough for something else :P

[17thletterfilms]

I use a Sony DCR-HC36 miniDV camcorder.

[ciwi286]

Just got my new Panasonic NV-GS230. Havent had a chance to test it out yet but it has all the good stuff 3CCD, option of manual focus, external mic jack.

And I must say thanks again to the guys at indy mogul!

Canon HV20 baby!
best camera you can buy with $650

RODE videomic sitting on top of it makes it even sweeter:D

I did my homework:)

[knightly]

Mostly my Canon XL1s. I also have a JVC GR820U. I've shot a couple of things on the XHA1 and love that camera (don't own one though).

I like the size of the XL1s. People tend to take you more seriously as a filmmaker when you can show up with a big chunk of kit. When I was using my JVC, I didn't get the same responses from people outside my production company when we were working as when I got the big camera. It just looks impressive :)

[punkandska66]

Do you have a name? Well it doesn't matter that much cause it will probably be long time before I actually get to making a movie with it, and by then I probably would have found some place that sells film. But if you don't mind, can you find out the website, but no rush.

I just got a new Canon ZR900. I really don't have all that much money to spend, so for the price, I felt it was the best deal.
Before that I used a Sony Handycam Hi-8 piece of garbage. The camera itself was okay, it had great nightvision, but it used high-8, so now everything I filmed on it is still incompatible with my computer. I can't do anything with it.
I do love my new one. It is nice, and gives you almost complete control over the settings.

I use two SR12s
yes I know that I could have gotten 1 much nicer cam for the price of two cams but two cams makes shooting go way faster and when your actors are working for free they appreciate that...

But I plan to get an Aiptek A-HD.

Strike That, I am getting a Canon ZR900

[rick3000]

Get the ZR930, it's worth the extra few bucks for a larger CCD.

[atomic9studios]

Getting a XH-A1 soon!



So long HV30.... (Already sold) :(

[Radstrike]

The ZR930 doesn't have an external mic jack. I feel that it is better to sacrifice picture than sound.

[rick3000]

I own the ZR930, and yes it has a 3.5mm microphone jack. I don't know where you're getting you info.

Sorry. Yeah, you're right. the ZR930 does have a jack. I'm not sure what 900 model I was looking at, but it definitely wasn't the 930.

I have the Sony Handycam HDR-UX10 DVD/Memory Stick HD (full) Hybrid

It's pretty good, sound quality's the main flaw, great picture quality though

What are these cells, 8 x 8? Ours are 9 x 9…no big deal

I used to video weddings and public access tv shows.
I have a few AG Panasonic camcorders AG-456 and AG-460 2 ccd, these were over 2,000.00 back in the day and now probably about $200-300 each now. After spending a ton of money on S-VHS Pro Camcorders, a S-VHS Editing deck and controllers and a mixer and CG, I just bought capture equipment for my PC. I am using the S-VHS camcorder footage, and playback through a S-VHS pro deck to my computer, I edit in the computer and burn to DVD. I found the quality to be very good actually.

With technology changing so much, I am using S-VHS until they wear out. Unless you spend $800 or more on a decent DV camcorder, its just not worth it, cheap ones do not even have a mic jack for better audio. I think my next camcorder will be another AG series digital one from Panasonic.

I've used DVX-100A and B, HV-20, Aiptek AHD-200 and some handycams. In our next project, were going to use Canon XL-2

I graduated a few months ago from a Canon ZR-65 to an XH-A1.
