Frage von rocka:


Hello,

I actually come from the DSLR photography, I now would like me to buy a video camera.

I had the Canon XM2 views, it is used to have quite favorable. However, I do not know whether you are worth for my applications.

I would like the following:

- Music Videos
- Concert recordings
- Sports Videos
- ...

Since I am not so well in the familiar technology, I ask you whether it is worth a Canon XM2 to buy. Or if you know of alternatives.

Maximum price 1000 euro.

Danke schon mal :-)

Hello,
Possession of even a Canon XM1 (previous model) and am so happy. The Camera is still almost 10 years old (the XM2 was good if I remember 2-3 years later on the market) and the picture quality in comparison to XM1 worlds are not synonymous. The Lens is exactly the same, it was only among other things, a sound level to manual and I believe the chip size was changed (but I am not sure).
If you have 1000 euro to do, I would me a HV 30 with wide angle and telephoto premeditation aforethought (zBRaynox-find here in the forum everything you need) to buy and record in HDV. If your PC is not sufficient "motorized" to Matial to cut, you can still of the film to the HV30 Mini DV herunterkonvertieren leave. In my opinion, so you can reach a better picture quality than the images with the XM2! Furthermore, are you prepared for the future.

The XM2 is not a bad camera, but personally I could never be friends with her. My practical experience filming are limited on a single Konzertmitschnitt (very dark red often with stage lighting) with a borrowed XM2, but while I have my SonyVX2100 sorely missed: Both of handling as synonymous of the picture since I was not the Canon convinced. Think it will still drive s.die frequently occurring problems (keyword "Remove the cassette"), then I would purchase from a used XM2 but rather advise.

@ Bernd - sometimes we really have exactly the same views ...

The DM XM 2 was my first Henkelmann camera, I was really happy with it. The basic picture is not significantly better than for example a smaller Panasonic GS 500th There are more ways the manual & the housing s.sich, yes the Lowlightbild when DM XM 2 more than the 500th GS

Some XM 2 Friend pleased synonymous over the 20x optical zoom, which can bring something if the scene is very far away. This requires however a good tripod and a steady advance handling.

With the Auto Focus & automatic exposure control (she has problems with large contrasts, there is fortunate indeed to the Spotlight button) in weak light, I was not satisfied with the Sony and Panasonic may be better. One XM 2 DM serves you prefer manual, which is synonymous with the professional demands will be.

Then I am equal to the rise SonyPD 170, the professional version of the VX the 2100th Almost every independent filmmaker is in love with the camera - it is in many things, just perfect, synonymous if the jump to XM 2 not be gigantic. The VX 2100 & PD 170, you will often see in concert shoots, filming some tape (s) so that, now go to more and more high-definition cameras.

A new VX 2100 will cost 1900 ¬ well, unfortunately a bit too expensive.

The Highdefintiongedanke is synonymous but not to be underestimated, as some VX & PD friend will sooner or later, of his beloved Camera disconnect. Who even for standard DVDs, or produced for the Web, which is sufficient nor a 576i Camera ala XM 2, VX or PD.

You can have an account with one SonyHC 9 & HV 30 manual adjust the distance, but that is possible on small wheels. Power is simply not so good. This affects several features which are available, but must be part of the menu will be trimmed.

An automatic film disturbs but less. At a concert inside the Auto Focus to be, I think is extremely dangerous. This can be compared, as when a rider does not have their driving without helmets and ...

The sharp peaking adjustment assistance (increase the contrast of the sharpness off item), the HV 30 is difficult for me to use (hard to see), I find that in the HC 9 better. There can be different colors to the default (depending on the stage lighting - it's stupid when the camera with white edges of the set distance is marked, but the stage lighting synonymous to know is) and even with imaging assistance Zebra (if you are synonymous Aperture manual rule) together. The Canon HV 30 is as a whole but the better camera - synonymous price from her.

For me the order was reversed: My subjective impression of less enthusiastic the XM2 is synonymous to the fact that I previously only concerts with Sony (VX2100, VX9000, PD170, V1, BVW300) or a JVC GY-DV5000 rotated before - then looks XM2 simply an old, synonymous if they s.sich a very nice device.

I have seen many concerts with the XM2 recorded. Degrees in colorful stage lighting was by manual adjustment of color balance in CustomPreset a good picture possible. I think that concert recordings in the SD HV20/30 against XM2 old looks (synonymous with the sound).
The drive is sensitive, so I would be synonymous with the purchase of Used skeptical.

Antwort von Jan:

So what is it. In the case of a PD 170 do I have never ever set the presets - it is perfectly set.

A friend of rotation with s.Anfang was synonymous with a XL 1 large problems with its stage pictures.

But it seems Canon has always to be - see XH A 1!

The former Canons as synonymous to synonymous XL 1 had a indiskutable color and the picture was generally preclude tests as it was in the VAD simply bad. There were cameras, as VX9000, VX1000 or PD150 etc. to better grades.
The XH A1 can be but it does not compare. It is a camera at the factory is poorly tuned, but makes them better optimized images than the Sony cameras (of the EX models apart).

Will I have to XM2 synonymous only with extremely colored stage lighting, especially red. For PD170, I can say nothing. I can remember in a recording with such a light has someone with a Sony camcorder was missed in the towel because he does not except red mud on the display could recognize, and all attempts manual did nothing to intervene.
