Hi,
Need an urgent response.
I am an independent filmmaker stuck with deciding between the Panasonic HMC150 and the Sony HVR V1.
Please address the following while responding:
1. I am aware that the Panny is solid state and records in AVCHD, while the Sony is HDV. A comparison of the pros and cons of the two formats.
2. Would 25p (I am in a PAL region) in both the cameras help me achieve a similar 'film' look?
3. The salespeople have been telling me that Panny gives a 3yr warranty with solid-state technology, something that Sony can't afford to with its tape mechanism. And that the latter is bound to pose problems in a year or two. Your comments on this.
4. What's your last word? The HMC 150 or the HVR V1?
Thanks a lot.
