High Definition Camcorders - The Latest in Quality Videography!
We're
living in a great time, to know that there are high definition
camcorders out there to capture every little thing on the other end
of the lens. Since the time that movie cameras came about, people
have been filming one another: family, friends, situations both real
and unreal. Of course, that doesn't mean that everything recorded
has been amusing to everyone. From the start, bored relatives and
friends have needed to endure both the good and the bad. Of course,
with high definition camcorders, it needn't be that way.
Fortunately, with the latest in high definition camcorders,
and video editing software, you shoot and edit a movie as easily as
typing and editing in a word processor.
This
also ensures that you'll have great quality to your recordings. High
definition camcorders can provide you DVD quality every time. You
can add great effects, and enhancements to the already ideal images.
So what
does high definition really mean to you? It means that the quality
of the picture and sound of your recordings is enhanced
dramatically. Benefits include:
- Higher sharpness of the picture
- Larger picture
- More
colours
- Wider picture
- Digital CD quality sound
You'll
have at least 6 times the resolution of a standard camcorder
recording, with twice the frames per second of NTSC - a full 60
frames per second. Motions in your recordings will be notably
smoother, and the picture will be so clear that you'd be able to sit
very close to a large screen and still appreciate every
detail.
Essentially, you'll experience a superior feeling of realism
to your camcorder recordings.
Two
examples of these fantastic new high definition wonders are:
| 1. JVC GR-HD1 - which records in high definition
at 720p on standard MiniDV tapes. This means that while your
recording is the same on the tapes (about 60 minutes on a
standard MiniDV tape), your quality will be far superior.
Furthermore, a selectable output makes it possible for you to
decide between 1080i, 720p HD playback, or down-converting it
to 480p or 480i standard definition so that you can play it
back on any TV, high definition or not. It also offers either
full manual or automatic control. Its specific shutter speeds
and lens aperture/iris settings are able to be locked in. You
can calibrate your white balance manually. There are separate
lens rings to allow you to focus and zoom for the highest
manual control. The optical image stabilizer eliminates the
jiggles while you're filming, without losing any picture
quality or high definition resolution. Get amazing detail with
it's 10x optical zoom! Moreover, pictures are stored on an SD
memory card (provided), in MPEG2, allowing you to edit using
MPEG Edit Studio Pro LE video editing software in Windows
XP. |

| 2. Sony HDR-FX1 Handycam - The worldwide
camcorder market leader now has a high definition camcorder
with 1080 interlaced lines of resolution - with its highest
resolution at 1440 pixels by 1080 lines. This camcorder is
considered to be best-in-class, with its high resolution
recording further enhanced by its three-chip, one-megapixel
Super HAD™ CCDs. Its improvements include an on-chip
micro-lens on top of the CCD sensor for the greatest light
focusing rate possible. It also has a state-of-the-art 16:9
aspect mode so that it can record in high definition
widescreen. Each lens has its own megapixel imager so that
intense, expert quality detail and colour can be captured.
Each of the camcorder's three 1/3-inch, 16:9 CCDs utilize Carl
Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* optics minimizes any warping while it
manages to maximizing sharpness and contrast. |
