I'd rather get removable storage and it come with a Bluray burner for the computer; might cost less!

This is the future!

I sure hope you're sarcastic!
chris @ Jul 24th 2008 10:06AM
personally i don't think having a blue ray burner on a movable camera is such a great idea.
can you say lots of scratches?

I already have the hdr-hc3 but....
DO WANT.

aint it bloody ugly though

I always find it ridiculous to see camcorders with recording the video directly to disc. It's just asking for trouble. On top of that, now we have Blu-ray, a much worse proposition. Instead of wasting money on Blu-ray, they should've used SSD storage. Nothing against Blu-ray, I just don't find it a practical, or smart, idea to put one in a camcorder.

What about all of the camcorders on the market that burn directly to DVD? Are all of these units having problems?
boulderhorn @ Jul 24th 2008 10:43AM
my fiance and i are currently shooting a full length indy film on a Red One and let me just say that hard-drive based recording is the way to go... of course you don't have much choice when 1 hour of footage is more and a gig.
kal326 @ Jul 24th 2008 11:34AM
1hr of footage is more then a gig? What compression are you using? If I import in avi format from my DV camcorder a 1hr tape is almost 14GB. If I import into WM9 video format its still more then 1GB and the quality is a lot worse.
boulderhorn @ Jul 24th 2008 11:58AM
sorry about that, we are getting about 1 hour of footage on 100 gigs... give or take a bit

Nice camcorder. Not-so-nice price.
When can we get a 1080p camcorder with a 160gb hdd?
Joe @ Jul 24th 2008 10:52AM
I'm looking at one right now. It's a Panasonic AG-HVX200A with a FS-100 HD. Total cost of around $7400.
It's actually not 1080p with 60fps, but it has a nice 24fps mode, and the 720p can do 60fps. But this is well above consumer level.
boulderhorn @ Jul 24th 2008 11:15AM
the hvx200 is nice, but maybe you should wait until the red Scarlet is available... 3k shoots are going to be pretty sweet.
Frun @ Jul 24th 2008 11:00AM
Can you swap out the SSD for something bigger? Thus making the Blu-Ray pointless
boulderhorn @ Jul 24th 2008 11:15AM
that should have been:
"...more than a gig."
Alex @ Jul 24th 2008 11:31AM
Hitachi = crap!
boulderhorn @ Jul 24th 2008 12:00PM
and that is with Red r3d raw files. uncompressed, the files would be about 50mb per frame or 1200mb per second of footage.
Xee @ Jul 24th 2008 12:19PM
What compression is this using? Right now, a tape-based HV30 can record at 25Mbps, this thing only does 15Mbps.
PopsG @ Jul 24th 2008 1:07PM
Just a question. But if they currently have no plans to release it to the US yet, why does the picture have English text on the device? Sure I know a lot of Japanese people can read English, but not all of them. Just an odd thing I noticed.

Between a noisy optical drive & spinning HDD, this is gonna be one noisy little sum bitch. And guess where all that noise gets recorded to? Your footage.
Solid state is king.
