Frage von schmiar:
Hello,
I include in my office therapy sessions. The Camera and the Microphone is about 5 meters distance from the interview table, the room has meiost artificial light. I am looking for a replacement for the existing Camera Canon MV900, as sound-and low-light are not sufficient behavior. An external directional microphone brought little improvement. The camera is connected via FireWire s.PC, the cable runs behind firmly built-in wardrobe, so that I could change only with great effort to other connection types.
I am looking for a camera with good low light behavior, external microphone input (; Jack), as auszusteuern FireWire connection and the possibility of the sound manual. Storage media may be memory, normally I save directly on the PC (; via FireWire). Resolution of 800.000 Pixeln is sufficient. I do not need image stabilization. Battery life is not important. The camera should be switched off via power strip on-and.
If anyone had an idea? Thank you very much!

Hello,
which should be more than difficult. MiniDV cameras in the consumer class are almost all from the market, only the Canon HV 40 (; other price league has remained). Panasonic, Canon Sonyand not sell remaining stocks, JVC has been no more. Firewire can be found almost only in MiniDV cameras, with a few exceptions (; JVC - some hard cameras).
Really better than an old case Lowlight MV 900 is in the class does not synonymous Camera, s.ca only 500 ¬ (; eg Canon HF 100 or smears with the new HF 200) - there are so themselves when buying a camera 300-450 ¬ to expect any big improvements.
Regardless of whether the JVC MG 630, Panasonic 80 or H SonySR 37 - much better low light have not been in the area.
A microphone input is available in the "MV 900 class" before again only of Canon, the current MD (; MV successor) are, in principle, almost from the market, you then you had to buy a camera memory cards - such as the Canon FS 200 (and the synonymous the best camera in this class and this has a microphone input). Panasonic S 26 and H 80 have definitely divided (the best stabilizer; just optical), but is less important for you indeed.
Although a camera memory card is perfect for such meetings (; quickly s.Computer presentable - using a card reader) zb
A very popular camera at the 500 ¬ (; Panasonic SD 20) is not synonymous with lowlight the hit, but is very well equipped, there are many manual options (;) incl manual level control.
With improvements, I would be after the HF 100 (and if it still), HF 200 or the SD is to look 20, even though the three models can record directly only high definition.
(Otherwise, at up to 300 ¬) for an MD (see, eg 215), or the Speicherkartencamcordern FS 100 or the new 200th FS

Antwort von Daigoro:
If there is no HD should be, perhaps, what second-hand from the former 'prosumer' Corner - SonyVX 2000/2100 or Canon XM2.
Ebay around 1000 euros - if you only need the camera before and there is no drive or LCD, can perhaps synonymous (look for faulty equipment, swap drive repair / is expensive, so that devices should be cheap).
New interesting cameras with smaller Aufloesung's not actually really exist - perhaps somewhere, ne 330th Panasonic NV-GS
Antwort von Jan:
Since MiniDV (; is dead until 2000 ¬), in principle, one can Daigoro Tip accept or hold the units pack the Consumer class:
SonyXR 500 - probably the best lowlight, no extremely brighter picture, but very little noise and good sharpness yet. But no manual Tonausteuerung, but only 2 settings, trunk (and a renown filmmaker & testers) has been tested in the German-speaking region --
FX Support Or stop the Panasonic SD 300 - which may be in the range of functions and overall impression well beaten by any other camera in the class, the shooting on inexpensive SD / HC Card synonymous is one advantage of the SD 300, the XR has 500 for a hard drive.
In the distant future, but to write synonymous Sony cameras to SD / HC Card - Sonysieht one, that they lose through their own system customers. Previously this was less of an issue by the exceptional position of Sony, Panasonic and Canon Sonygut now adopt the "deficiency".
The new Digital SLR cameras of Sonyhaben first time (the possibility to SD / HC Card record, and without adapter) - that there was not yet. Can there be only a matter of time until Sony camcorder and digicam have an SD slot.

The cheapest way to ensure, for brighter lighting when you sit in a room anyway.

Hi All,
First thanks for the full answers. According to current knowledge, are probably a result of your recommendations in question: Panasonic HDC-SD 300 (was: the manual level control?), Canon HF 100, Canon HF SDR 200 (; newer model of HF 100?). S.ehesten What would you recommend?
Since it probably nothing more Neueres with Fire Wire is: there are (possibly an adapter, USB port) as s.Computer small FireWire 4 - pole as s.jetziger Camera? That would be me (the Kabelziehen; spare wire and with uncertain prospects of success).
At the lighting: I have halogen ceiling spotlights. The light is cozy, but unevenly. A fluorescent lighting would be possible, but scary in conversation.

Hello,
For me SD 300 (yes, has a 100% manual level control, and even (for the areas of bass, very unusual for Consumercamcordern then) HF 100 (; you get hard) and then HF 200th
It is indeed time to give converter boxes, only one customer told me that the DV camera is not recognized by the device.
The Pixela Firewire to USB cable was more likely (a fake, has worked for any user).
Computer professionals, however, think that it is almost impossible to build, a working cable, because the technique (; Transmission & structure) between USB and Firewire is completely different.

Hello,
Now I have bought the Panasonic SD 300th Except for the immediate catastrophic failure of the first card a very good camera. However, you need the bundled software AVHCD for storing on a PC, and the saving in the insufficient for me to 720x576 or similar, this only works if you burn the file to DVD. Editing with Windows Movie Maker or programmmer like Media Player is no longer possible. I must also connect the camera to dub s.den new computer, this needs to be powerful, and I have to disassemble the camera of the wall to (a menu, a PC or printer? To answer), and finally I have it every time manual unplug of the USB - interface to turn them off ever again be able to.
For me s.einfachsten a camera, with which I would like now with my mini-DV - Camera directly via cable to your PC to record and simply can not play again, without detours.
Is there another alternative (; with good sensitivity in artificial light, microphone port, manual control over sound and usually without any further nonsense)? The SD 300 was (I still keep for private use;'m on vacation ...)
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
Some time ago there were at Panasonic nor the direct conversion of 576i NTSC MPEG 2 with the included software - the output quality was (more than modest, so about 2-3 years ago).
In the network, there are a lot of free converters in 576 MPEG 2, which program is the best - others can better assess user.
MiniDV is dead in the consumer field, I once had the nerve to say, the Canon HV 40 is the last newly developed MiniDV camera in the consumer class. In the professional area gibts still one or the other Camera with tape.

Hello Jan,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Can a different camera (; synonymous dub directly without Mini-DV, with SD card) in the MPEG 2 576 on the computer, ideally with control via computer?
Mfg Arne Schmidt
Antwort von Jan:
Sonyhat their HD cameras (; no preference whether flash memory or hard drive) is almost always a 576i PAL output via USB, as in the sense of control, such as MiniDV and firewire with me but nothing is known - but this means nothing.
