Sony Announces new AVCHD camcorders - Blu-ray Forum

Thanks to Camcorderinfo.com click for the link. Let's discuss these cams in their own thread.

Here are the direct links to the product info.

HDR-UX1 and HDR-SR1

HDR-SR1

I like the HDR-SR1 very much. Dedicated Mic and Headphone jacks are back. Longer record times and a return back to some manual controls like the focusing ring. This would be my target. I'm impressed, I thought I'd have to wait longer for HD recording on HDD. It's here in a couple of months. Sweet.

for the three sensor (CCD or CMOS) models.

Psiweaver · 07-18-2006, 11:04 PM

yeah 3 ccd and cmos are very nice much better color.

hmurchison · 07-18-2006, 11:19 PM

Only if you get a decent sensor size guys. Three 1/6 in CCDs are better than one but that damn sensor is so small its a bit superfluous.

true enough.

Yes so let us get greedy like we should.

We want HD recording with 1/2" 3 CCD/CMOS camera systems.

I want a 3 chip version of a 4K system. Dalsa ships a single chip version. I want a 3 chip version.

I wonder how much footage you will be able to cram onto the Hard Disk. Those camcorders look awesome, and has me wondering if recording onto blu-ray disc will ever be needed.

Editing this footage also has me wondering. What programs are going to be needed?

well, im guessing the only benefit I have to Mini Dv (HDV) SInce i own the HDR-HC3 is that The tape drive is more durable i.e. Lasers could go out of alignment and such. Tapes don't skip etc.

I really like these formats but i'd be weary to be "the first" do buy into it.

It's sony though so it should be well constructed.

Yeah Blu-Ray for playback way more convient than carrying a hard drive around.
