If anyone has something similar to this:
Sanyo VPC-HD1A
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/hd1a.html
are you happy with it?
~85 minutes on a 4GB card does not sound
that bad. 16GB should be out there eventually.
Wonder if the A/V quality of the 720p is comparable
to my current MiniDV, when both are burned to a DVD-R
at max quality? That is, if you make a 85 minute DVD-R
of each at its best possible recording mode, which
DVD-R of 85 minutes would be the better quality when
played back on a 1080i TV?
If I could get comparable DVD-Rs from this camcorder,
the conversion from flash to DVD-R should be really
easy on a PC with a flash reader. Kind of like the
set-top conversions should be, but are not, at least
for me. (Too many freezes with my Sony camcorders
and firewire.)
The lens on these little camcorders look a little iffy to me,
just not sure how they could give the same quality
as my old Sony PC100 with wide angle lens, etc?
*********** cut-n-paste************
The HD1a can record over 21 minutes of 720p
HD video on a 1GB SD card or over 42 minutes
on a 2GB card and is compatible with the newer
4GB size cards for even longer recording.
You can record in Standard Definition mode
(640 x 480 pixels at 30fps progressive) for up
to two hours on a 2GB SD card. It's easy to
switch between high-definition and standard-
definition recording modes by simply pressing
the "HD/Norm" button on the side of the camera.
