I'm trying to find a new camcorder for 'videoscoping" At the moment I have a Panasonic NV-GS44 which has served me pretty well, but is on it's last legs. It's obviously a MiniDV tape camcorder.
I'm finding it really difficult to find a suitable replacement. I have been looking at the Panasonic HCD-SD9. It is a so called "High Definition" model and records to an SD card. It's 10x optical zoom, so that's fine. What I'm unsure about it the HD bit.
Does anybody know if these type of camcorders produce a 'better' image. ie: am I really likely to get improved footage? Also I like to take 'grabs' and wonder if the HD models will produce better quality?
If anybody has experience with this, or similar models I would be grateful.
Thanks.
