I have a JVC GZ-MG4OU but it's my moms old camera so she doesnt have the disk that comes with it to install the software to download videos from the camera to my mac, because i want to delete the videos but my mom doesnt want to lose them. Is there a software for this? or should i just get a new camcorder and what is a good but cheep camcorder?
Answer
Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer, which has a IEEE1394 port on it, as it is a MAC. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

What is the difference between "large" and "normal" cameras?
Ok, I don't know so much about cameras, and that's why I'm asking this question. What is the difference between "large" and "normal" cameras? Like for example: This big camera, JVC GY-HM750E and this normal size camera, HDR-XR350VE. The large one is way more expensive. They both shoot in Full HD, so I'm just wondering why one of them is so large and more expensive?
Answer
Actually there are several differences. And you have these reversed... the 350VE is a professional camera and the 750E is a consumer camera.
For one thing it's the data handling, the sensor size and many other things that allows the larger camera to shoot in broadcast quality. I did a career in television news / sports photography and because of the need for the broadcast signal to travel through many different electronic devices, be it over the air or cable, the signal must quality must be so high to begin with so that when it finally reaches your home television screen, it's of a high quality. If you tried the same thing with a small camera it would look like home video when it got to your screen.
