Panasonic Professional AG-HMC40 AVCHD Camcorder with 10.6 MP Still and 12x Optical Zoom
I just got this camera last week with a little brother to the market or to upgrade the HMC150 HMC40. I produced an intermediate step in the formation of a large number of self-study and participated in the workshop just a few. After two years of shooting HD 1920 on the low end, I must say I am impressed with this camera.
Advantages:
1) a good quality MPEG-4 shooting in a small and lightweight. Just love. It 's time to make sure that the dance roto-tion in the post for the period of time.
2) You can compress the size of a carryon HMC40s in the case of Mr. Smith to 150.3) Start with an image editor on your Mac in just 2-3 minutes, without waiting for the results. The conversion does not contain any of the P2 card $ 600. However, you should use something more than just support SDHC Class 6, if you want to hurt the quality a little ', otherwise you may get some artifacts. (The problem) is moving rapidly and clothing designs. Problems as well as recording media of any other camera.4) I agree with the administration and HMC150 Redrock / Letus the project, if necessary. This camera is good for the DVD, or streaming HD.5) images of a sample of 4:02:00.6) We make what we do and our customers coming back with a retail price of $ 1,995 at the end, I managed to have two machines are very beautiful HD.
CONS.
) I get the button to learn menu softkey. I love all the same features. Not unlike the iPhone.B) two options for audio: stereo (better) or get PANASONIC / beachtek adapter for the camera. I like to use a separate sound or FOSTEX Digital Recorder TASCAM has four separate channels (1 mic, 2 mics, forest fund), this gives you plenty of space for mail or fill in the sound. The best sound is still 50% of production.C) There is a glass lens with a 150/170, so you may need a different device.D) There is no timecode jam sync the two cameras have their own timecoding (HH: MM: SS: FF) Oh well, I lived without having to synchronize the time code since I started. It adds a little 'time in the post for himself and his music. It 'a problem, so that the clapper, however, does not make sense, I Clapper that the crew and the public.
Hope this helps. Room upgrade every few years, while the value of sales is still a good plan. After shooting a short this weekend, I think this is going to have a good relationship in the second year. I wish you well.
