Before buying the Avchd cameras

The most important thing is to think about the intended use your new avchd cameras. First of all it is important to define why you want to buy a camera and what you do with it. You may be looking for something off-road, that is, you will both save time with your family to make a short with your friends. To help define good, contéstate the following questions:
Want to record home videos? Want to keep a souvenir of your travels?

Looking for a more artistic?
Are you going to create a short or series online with friends?
How long do you plan to record more or less with the camera?
Want to start your video or prefer then once recorded will be stored without further complications?
And finally, how much money you want to spend a maximum of your new video camera.
I recommend you record your answers on paper. Have it close because it will serve as a guide when deciding on a camcorder with the system and recording format that suits you, depending on the particular application you are going to give. These steps may seem silly that you will be ensuring future success and optimizing your purchase.

Features from avchd cameras

To give you a quality result and will not become obsolete in a year and a half, your new camera must have:
Ability to record in HD.
A good recording format: AVCHD or HDV.
A good zoom lens and lens assembly.
Recording Media: HDD, tape or card. Not at all I recommend the DVD.
Connections and video outputs for TV and computer.
An ideal size that you can quickly take hold in hand as on a tripod.
Possibility that the controls manually.
That said, I have compiled the best options for camcorders currently on the market in price / performance ratio. Grab your paper and find your ideal camera:

Avchd cameras – SONY HDR-HC9E

a good choice to continue with the conveyor system

This is one of the best cameras from Sony in terms of quality and size is concerned. The Sony HDR-HC9E recording in Full HD (1080i) and semi-professional HDV image format, is one of the best market optics (Carl Zeiss), a 10x zoom and recording medium used is a MiniDV tape, in which you can up to 63 minutes in HD. The beauty of this system is that if you run the tape, you can replace it easily and continue recording. The biggest plus point of this system is that MiniDV tapes are quite affordable in price, both individually and packs.

In addition to HDMI output to view videos on TV, this camera can also read traditional DV tape format, so you can view all previously recorded videos. And if you want a little more control over the scene, the HDR-HC9E offers the possibility of using manual focus. You decide that you are interested in remaining in the first place and no.

The price is somewhat high, around 1,000 euros depending on where you buy it. The reason it costs so expensive is the ability to record and read MiniDV tapes.

SONY HDR-XR105E, a more affordable Handycam with 5.1 sound

It is possible that the price of the HDR-HC9E you have been too high. So I wanted a camera from the same brand with similar quality and lower prices. It is the Sony HDR-XR105E. The main difference from previous is that it changes the recording system for an internal hard disk of 80 GB, which gives you to record up to 33 hours of video in AVCHD format. And if you want to expand the recording capacity, the camera supports Memory Card in which you can continue recording after running out of hard disk capacity.

Another advantage of this affordable camera is that it records sound in Dolby Surround 5.1 to wrap completely in the scene where you are. As the anterior chamber, has a great Carl Zeiss optics, 10x zoom, CMOS sensor (less noise in the image) and a good video processor that automatically adjusts to capture the scene for you, so that only have to worry about framing. The price of this camera is 750 euros, although this varies greatly depending on the store, sure you can find something a bit cheaper.

Canon HV30, looking for the film look

Yes, yes, the cameras are fine, but I just want to record levels with the special tone that is seen in the movies. This may be your camera: the Canon HV30 is one of the best models of this brand and has the distinction of recording in progressive 25p format real, that’s what gives the image that tone of movie. You also have the option to manually control focus, something important in the HD you’re creating a creative videos.

And of course the Panasonic HMC150 Review that I’m going to be doing.

HDV format HD video recording

HDV is the format for high definition video recorders for home use. Unlike the standard recording that records in frame and frame-rate, HDV uses two resolutions.

A issued by the JVC recorders px 720 x 1280 resolution, progressive system and the second driven by Sony play frame with a 1080 lines of 1440 x 1080 pixel screen resolution consists of two interlaced fields. The frame rate will vary depending on geographic area, reaching 25 fps in PAL European version and increases up to 30 fps in the U.S. and Japan.

Another great advantage of this recording format is the format that uses MPEG-2compression, the same as using the DVD, thereby maintaining the same bit rate that filming in DV, allowing us to record high quality images.

HDV offers widescreen images. Some cameras that use this recording format the CanonXLH1.
