HD is coming!
27 April 2005
There's a lot of buzz from the new HD cameras that were just shown at NAB. It's a tough decision deciding between the Panasonic's HVX200 and the GY-HV100 from JVC. The Panasonic is a monster, with everything that I could have wanted at the price point, but P2 cards will only record about 20 minutes, which is going to make the pretty expensive at $2K a pop. I tend to think that the HV100 is more in line with wedding videographer needs. Using a tape-based acquisition format, it provides the standard hour of recording, and there's no need to download the material in throughout the day. I suppose the question is whether bride and grooms will notice the difference and value it. Tough call, given that neither camera has been released, but I think I'm going to have a lot of sleepless nights ahead looking forward to the upgrades!
