Hi,
I'm in the market for a new camcorder, preferably hi-def. I've asked some people for opinions. It looks like they Sony is the brand to go since it does a great job in low light, compared to other brands. I can't seem to decide between the SR11 and HC9. Any help would be appreciated.
I heard miniDV will not be offered with future camcorders, so is it worth buying one since I'm not exactly sure if miniDV tapes would be available for use? I'm not a professional or video enthusiast. I mainly wanted good quality home videos. Don't have too much time to sit around and edit videos, perhaps some years from the date I purchase one. It seems that editing hi-def videos are a task since most softwares do not support AVCHD formats. I don't have a Blu-ray writer or DVD player at the moment (due to prices being too high at the moment), so would getting one of these be worthwhile? It seems that if I buy the SR11, I would need to buy a hard drive to backup the videos. Otherwise, purchase a Blu-ray burner to keep the videos. With miniDV, the quality is higher, but if I want to put it onto a DVD or Blu-ray disc, I would need to download the videos onto the computer in real time.
Does any of these camcorders make noise during recording? If so, can you hear it in the videos? Can the SR11 pass through the airport scanning machines without damaging the drive and its contents? How about if I bring it with me on hikes? Thanks in advance for all your guide and help!
