Hi!
I've been looking for an NTSC/PAL switchable DV camera (brand new or used), and I currently have these options: Canon XL-H1 (NTSC/PAL switchable, requires Canon service upgrade to PAL) - expensive Sony HVR-Z1 (NTSC/PAL switch via menu) - popular choice Are there any other options out there, like from JVC or Panasonic as well? It's OK if it's HD or not. Must have Firewire input/output (not just output.) Why DV? I have a large library of tapes and the media archiving is cheaper with tapes. And why switchable? I do productions for clients everywhere (NTSC: Philippines, USA, etc.; PAL: Singapore, China, etc.) so flexibility is at play here. If possible, Please include these items in your costing as well: 1 additional large battery (2 better) 1 wide lens (minimal distortion as much as possible, no too much curvature on the image) 1 set of filters (UV, clear, polarizing; must match lens size) 1 tripod (must be good like Sony with remote, Manfrotto or higher better) 1 dolly (portable dolly, not the expensive track dolly kind, must be compatible with most tripods) 1 bag (for cam + some accessories) 1 video light (attachable to camera via coldshoe, like from Bescor or Sachtler, include battery too) If handheld cam, 1 shoulder mount or brace budget with some accessories: SGD5500 (+/-500 if used) less than SGD8000 (+/-1000) for brand new If you have info regarding this, please reply here or send me a message. A response would be highly appreciated. Thanks! Last edited by daxdigital; 12th May 2008 at 02:34 AM. Reason: price change, add firewire info, accessories |
