Question regarding a Sony Dvcam DSR-PD150P video camera?




SelfConfes


I was just wondering how much they are worth these days? Looks to be in pretty good condition - came with battery and cords etc etc I would also appreciate any information about them such as if they are still commonly used, or if they are now more collectors items?

Any help would be much appreciated thanks :)



Answer
that is the professional version of Sony's DCR VX2000 series. they are still used by action sports enthusiasts. originally they were intended for the broadcast news market and professional videographers so it is a good quality camera. miniDV is better for motion analysis and sports because it has very little compression compared to file based codecs. The American version of the camera sells for about $500 USD.

would the Flip MinoHD 120-Minute be good to record sports?

I'm a hurdler and i want people to record my track races and i was wondering if this would be a good camera to video tape with.


Answer
no, not if you intend to slow down the video for precise motion analysis. no HD format works for that because they all use Group of Frames architecture. AVCHD for example uses a frame rate of 4 fps for recording, and then on playback it interpolates to reproduce the missing frames. A lot can happen in a 1/4 second that will be entirely missed or falsely interpolated on playback. A better choice would be miniDV. DV takes 60 fields per second, each field is a unique full picture and you can move frame to frame with no missing motion details.
