Just wait until everything is HD then you can get a HD cam. For now go with something cheaper. Also think about it, how good is a $600 hd cam especially when something like a xl is a few grand and its not even hd? Don't waste your money.

No it just means that you'll never recieve it, but the online store you bought it off of will have your credit card information to charge you with it anyways.

JVC HD1U

Kinetta

Filmstream

HVX200

Cinealta

Varicam

Arri D20

RED

Genesis

plus the hundreds of 16mm cams, and the hundreds of 35mm cams.


Im not saying a TV with 1080p resolution will support full resolution 35mm though, Im just saying that those are the cams out there.

google found about "about 3,089" 1080p hdtvs, also known as true hd. of the cameras you mentioned how many are 1080p?? i know the hd1u and hvx200 aren't. there are far, far more tvs with the technology than cameras. if you are going to dish out $10,000 on an HD camcorder you may as well spend another $2,000 - $3,000 on a tv that can match its quality.

Well that just means it doesn't have 3ccd so the quality isn't going to be all that amazing. It'd be better just getting a non-hd cam with 3ccd.

Panasonic's description says it is. How is it not? And most of the cams I listed were tru HD. They shot Superman on the Genesis. I think they shot Sin City on the Sony XD cam, I don't remember if I listed that one yet.


and yes there are a shitload of tru HD tvs out there but how many SKIERS actually own them? You can have 10,000 1080p TVs out there but thats nothing compared to the 1,000,000+ SD TVs out there.

don't buy from cci, it's a fraud site. use this website to check for bogus camera places. www.resellerratings.com

heres the reviews for cci: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/CCI_Camera_City

When you buy a camera from them, they'll call you and make you add on warrantys and accessories for ridiculous prices to compensate for the cheap camera, then they'll tell you stuff like "for an extra 250 i'll sell you the USA model instead of the japanesse model" stuff like that. and even if you do turn them down on all their offers they'll just cancel your order and maybe still charge you.

HD is the future. In 2009 regular tvs won't even work without box that downgrades your cable.

1080p means it has 1080 pixels wide with progressive frames.
1080i is the same but the frames are interlaced.

1080p is better.

Even not full hd (720p) is DRASTICALLY better looking than regular TV.

you got to be careful because there is HD which is High Definition and then there is HDD which is Hard Disk Drive, two different things that can easily be mixed up.
