for the price*, the gs series (the 250 mostly) is really good. but if you have alittle more you can spend i dont see why not go hd. but yea if you're on a budget the gs series is sick, and fun to film with.

dvc30's arent cheap (you would be spending over 700 at the veryyyyy least). whyyyyyy would you get a new camera? yours does SD video and you have hd when you need it. white balance off something blue and you got the yellow tint that you see in all the skate videos. but dont downgrade thats dumb.

ok tell me how having 3ccds is better than having an hd cmos. aside from colors and the SLIGHT rolling shutter you cant even see. and the whole good/bad fisheye option thing because thats just dumb, you can put any fisheye on if you really want to.

-smaller filesize
-don't need to have a nice computer to edit
-colors is pretty much everything i'd look for in a cam. nobody's going to care if you have 3409584 lines of resolution when everything looks bland.
-cheaper
-DVDs

3CCD SD is perfect for my purposes, and until I get a legit setup to edit on theres no way I'd get HD.

bold is pretty much the same thing.
underlined, you can make the colors on any good cmos camera look like 3ccd colors if you white balance it right
- italic, gs500 cost more than a refurbished hv20
DVDs, ok so now its impossible to put footage shot in hd on a dvd?

Why would you put HD footage on DVD?

Have you ever seen people spending money on a hv to film in SD? No, wonder why.

Do you know anything about computers? Editing 1080 is going to require a better video card, ram and processor to process the footage. I can pop a 60gig clip on a time line with no problem on my editing pc, if I put a 1080p clip on there i can't even play back or render without waiting forever. Why do you think all of the new versions of editing programs require like minimum 4 gig RAM?

because you can use the hv30 and film in sd, and eventually when you get w/e you need you can film in hd without having to buy a new cam.

I give up. No one is going to get an hv, wait, film in SD with one CMOS (which doesnt make fucking sense) and then buy a computer with a decent amount of RAM. You could spend that very same money and get a DVX, VX, DVC, Gl2, or even a TRV and keep the same computer, while at the same time produce high quality footage. Do you see alot of professionals filming in HD? Fuck no. Wonder Why?

I'm not saying its better, but from a professional point of view, where money matters, SD DVD is the way to go. How many people have SD TVs and DVD players vs HDTVs and bluray players? I don't fuck around with youtube except for little shit. Its not professional. If I'm dropping money on equipment, I want to sell my product at top quality and I want to get the most sales possible form it. If you release something on DVD, EVERYONE can buy it, everyone has a DVD player. If you release to HD bluray audience only, your selling your shit to a fraction of people. Yeah a lot of people have HDTVs, but i doubt most of those people have blu ray players. If anything they have a upscaling DVD player, tv or receiver. Look at this chart compaing bluray vs DVD sales

See what I mean? Imagine the cost produce a bluray video... my setup would be HVX, lens, P2 cards, external drive, computer able to edit HD smoothly, bluray burner, bluray roms... fuck that prob like 10gs right there. I can purchase a whole SD rig for under $5,000.


category to compare SD vs HD, it doesn't work.

I admit, it was astupid move on my part to get an hv30 to film in HD to only capture it in sd on my computer. And now I realize I should have gotten a 3chip camera. I really want a gs500, they look really nice.
