[videoblogging] Re: Which cheapo Mini HD Camcorder would you buy today?
I figured that clip would show how it does in a poorly lit situation. That
place (obviously) has just a bit of red lighting which my normally awesome
Cannon just hates.
Only thing I dislike about the flips is it's form factor - but that's just my
preference. I find the Xacti's more comfortable.
iPhone at 720 would be fantastic!

Friend has a Flip Ultra HD, and it does a LOT better in low light than my Cannon HF-100. As for sound it seems ok, but he mainly puts it in situations where the volume is a bit too much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChBKTVYB0kY (achem, me on bass) Jarod the seldom poster. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Julian Seery Gude" wrote: > > I'd love your take on the best cheap Mini HD camcorder. > > Here are the contenders as far as I can tell (please add on your fave if you > prefer it over these) > > - Flip Ultra HD > - Flip Mino HD > - Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 > - Kodak Zi6 > > I admit I like the pistol grip form factor of the Xacti and prefer both the > Kodak/Xacti because you can use your own memory card.

[videoblogging] Re: Sanyo Xacti HD1010 / Canon HF100 4MP MPEG4 High Definition 1080i/1080p Camcorder with 10x
Rob, I have the HF-10 which has the internal 16GB flash and love it. I've been completely lax in doing anything other than recording lots of different things and plopping them on to the iMac - but I can say that the videos import to iMovie easily, the video looks great, and the built in audio sounds great and has an easily adjustable gain for those special loud moments. Not all that noticeable - but in some low light instances running as high quality as I can, I do get some motion lines showing up. I notice them more while trying to export a frame to an image more than I do just watching. Feel free to contact me on or offline for more specific questions, for the price it's a great little tiny HD camera, and get's my thumbs up.

On a side note - Discovered a nice trick for data recovery on a drive that Mac and PC won't read or recognize... Linux. Plugged a drive that must have had something important corrupted up to a Suse 10.3 box via USB 2 external enclosure and it mounted fine. I was able to recover data very easy.

Nothing like a platform question to shake things up eh? ;) I'm a multi-platformer - and until recently, have always had the PC as my primary editing monster using Vegas. I don't think you will have any problem at all converting from the FCP family to Vegas - it just takes a little adjustment. I'm going through the same just trying to find out where stuff is on FCPe. Major advantage of Windows PC = hardware cheap and easy to upgrade and replace (me = hardware nerd) Major advantage of Mac based = stuff just plain works without downloading x, patching y, and rebooting three times.
