    "Suggested over DVX-100A & HD10"

    on January 19, 2005

    Pros: Read the specs, those are the pros. Mingus suggests that the JVC-HD10 is better. Not so, the HD10 is a single CCD using a software algorithm for color (single CCD sees only black and white. An algorithm interprets the shades of gray as colors). 1070 e

    Cons: The downside is that extra software is required to get what you want out of it for those of you interested in 24P and editing in HD. If you're willing to do the extra work, this camera is about the best thing you can get under $5,000.

    User commented that There is also software to do a pulldown from 60i to 24P. The 24P conversion is comparable to the integrated 24P support of the DVX-100A

    Where do you get this conversion software?

    Coul you tell us the info about where (and which one) to obtain the 24p converter and the XLR adapter?

    Sony also has the HVR-A1U for $3500, which one you think will be a better choice?.


    Thanks

    Thanks for the info regarding the ability to convert to 24p. This has now swayed my choice as I was hesitating, really wanting the ability to convert to 24p, as I shall eventually be printing to film. From what I've seen, the picture quality is sharp enough to withstand the scrutiny of big screen cinema presentation blow up!!!! How's that at that price!!!??? Any more info about where to obtain the 24p converter and the XLR adapter would be GREATLY appreciated. I aim to shoot the movie in October so would like to spend any prepreduction time familiarising myself with the features of the camera. Once again, MANY THANKS for placing your review here!
