I don't reccomend things usually, but I'll step in and say sd is wayyy
dead... It's been dead for over 2 years unarguably... I reccomend
getting a solid state hd camera no matter what. The only question is
quality and schemes,. 720p 1080i or 1080p
There's plenty of options depending on what you need... I have a 3
foot 35mm 720p cam that cost 3k a sony hdd 1080i for a grand and I
have a handheld aiptek 1080p that cost 100 bucks... Both great cams -

Hello all,
This is a bit off topic, but this may be an issue other cinelerra
users
are dealing with.
I've never owned a video camera, but thought now may be a good time to
net a standard def camera before hidef takes over entirely.
Seems miniDV is already on its way out, the only ones I've seen in
stores seem to be very low-end. Other options appear to be flash and
HDD
cameras.
So that brings me to my question:
Is it worth getting a miniDV camera at this point? I have a few miniDV
tapes of video documentation around, but I could always convert those.
I'm familar and comfortable DV for real-time (pd/gem) and production
of
video documentation.
Here are a few pointed questions:
Anyone using flash or HDD cams on linux? (are they just normal
mass-storage devices?)
Do the flash and HDD cameras give you options for anything but mpeg2?
(DV, mjpeg, sequence of frames?) A camera that stores video so
compressed off the bat does not sound like a great option, especially
for any real-time use.
Any recommendations of cameras that are known to work on linux, are
flexible in terms of format, and are around $500 US?
Are the HDDs in these cameras normal laptop size? As in can they be
hacked/swapped once the warranty runs out?
Is it worth getting one of these hidef cameras? Is the hidef codec
working in cinelerra and patent unfriendly?
Thanks all for your time and consideration.
I'm looking forward to the future of lumierra!
