Should I get a Panasonic HDC-HS300?
My family has had a Sony TRV-18E Mini DV Handycam for many years now. We’re sick of tapes!
It’s time to upgrade, but the choices are quite vast these days! Obviously, HD 1080p is common across the majority of most cameras. The further I look in to them I discover that there’s CMOS, 3MOS, and the sensor size that make quite the difference.
My Dad and I (the video gurus) had a look at the latest cameras about a month ago and found that the Panasonic HDC-HS300
(review & specs) is probably the best choice for us.
Although, we discovered that Sony has recently released some camcorders with GPS in them; videos get geotagged. I love geotagging on my photos because Flickr understands the geotags. I don’t know any video sharing websites that understands geotagging on videos (the iPhone 3GS also geotags videos). More over, is geotagging very important right now? Will it be big in a year? I’m guessing: yes.
We’d like to spend less than AUD$2,000. I’ll probably be using the camera a lot for my videos and shows like Sweet Adventures. That said, it will also be used for my parents’ business; NSA Management.
Oh, and PAL/NTSC is dead now, right? We don’t have to worry about that, do we?
Your thoughts?
