zeroz · 13th December 2006

hi, i'm new here...

am thinking of buying a Sony PD170 but saw the release of HVR-V1 and was wondering should i save up to get that instead? Any idea how much will HVR-V1 cost?

also i see from expandore website PD170 going for $4.7k, anyone know where should i look for to get better price for the PD? appreciate your help guys :-)

Hi zeroz,
afew things you might wanna take into consideration when choosing a camera...

- what sort of stuff are you going to shoot?
- who is going to view your 'final-product'
- whats ur budget? (below SGD 6k ?
- I presume you prefer HDV compared to SD

Reagards,
David

If PD is 4.7k it is expensive in it's class.

i think you should consider your need ?
whether do u need it now ?
or for future investmet.
Honestly if you have bugdet. HD is definitely better than sd model.
Try HVX 202. but its more expensive. My dream videocam for next year
