Flash Camcorder Picture Quality?
How does the picture quality of a flash camcorder compare to mini DV?
I have a mini DV camcorder, but I'm thinking about purchasing a flash because of the size and ease of putting the videos online and no tapes to hassle with. However, I still want quality videos.
The quality of any Camcorder will depend on the video chip. If it is a 1 or 3 chip and the type and size of chip. The next factor is Lens. Then comes recording format. Mini DV is a great, reliable medium. The new Flash based Camcorders, especially the HD models, are very light, small and shoot great quality video. Most of the HD models are recording in the AVCHD format, the same format used on the Hard Drive models. The benefits of the Flash medium are: Lighter, smaller, high storage capacity, you do not have to “re-capture” to the computer for edit, almost unlimited reuse (tapes wear out) and no video heads to get dirty.
