      Do you think is worth to shot photo with this Canoncorder?

    • @Joe_VanCleave
      @Joe_VanCleave 5 лет назад

      The Canon would look better if you do manual white balance and manual exposure control, to limit the blown highlights on your face. But the Panasonic is better.
      I use my Canon Vixia 800 in B/W mode at night, the noise kinda looks film-like. Kinda.
      Make sure you turn on Power IS, my 800 defaults to Power IS off when first powered on.

    The HF R700 is what I use. I bought mine used on Ebay for $99! My biggest complaint with it is I need soooo much light. It looks pretty good outside in natural lighting. Plus you can't trust the flip-out LED screen. It always looks brighter than it's actually recording. Very frustrating to get your shot set up "perfect" then pull it off the card and it's too dark.

Not the best cameras for vlogging though I would imagine. This is good content.

  • @JohnAudioTech
    @JohnAudioTech 5 лет назад

    Just some tips on the camcorder. I have the HFR800. I imagine it is similar to the 700 as it is a slightly newer model. Setting the zoom to "advanced mode", gives you a wider angle out of the gate. Set the audio recording to manual and adjust as needed. Set the "audio scene" for recording music for more natural sound. All the other audio scenes dynamically compress the audio and remove the bass response.
    I got my HFR800 refurbed last month for $128. They can be useful for video and vlogging but you have to dig into the numerous settings to get the best out of them.

I didn't like the standard colour profile of this particular Canon either, but some of the others looked like fun. They are both really cheap camcorders, both cost sub 150 imperial Earth units, so probably best to compare them to a really cheap camera to get a fair idea.

I was very disappointed in the image quality as it was not sharp at all, has a low bitrate so just looks silly, and I don't think it looks any better than my Logitech webcam. Despite having very low megapixels, it seems to have an excess amount of noise, even with 2 softbox lights, a ring light, and a small aputure light. Honestly wish I never bought it lol

    I thought I'd never buy a camcorder, but I got one for a specific purpose only a few times a year. Any camcorder will be really good at image stabilization, and they zoom forever. I use my camcorder for school plays (I'm the parent in the back with the camcorder but I don't care, it zooms right up there), and my kids sporting events. Basically any situation that requires a ton of zoom and where I image quality isn't the highest concern. I have a full frame mirrorless kit, a DSLR kit, a 1" compact camera, and a camcorder... each is a tool that shines in its own way. If I brought my FF mirrorless to my kids soccer game, I'd need a huge/heavy lens to too zoom out there (it'd look great, but that's a ton of overhead).

Something like the sony ax53 shoots 4k, has good image stabilization and a really sharp image. It's small, great zoom and no need to swap a lens and miss the shot. Plus no record limits. Different tools for different situations. Even still, always like discussing this topic and of course you always entertain me. Keep up the good work!

    The camcorder at 220/195 for updated version and Sony X3000 368 dollars both did fine considering the cost. Camcorders are great for content. I like to use a Sony AX53, Rode VideoMicro and a MeFOTO Tripod which combined cost me 940 shipped. Already paid for it self. The image quality is just fine. Boss stabilization amazing. Auto focus is actually not bad. I can pull focus via the ring as well. Also white balance etc etc even the funky white card trick is available. Has a touch flippy screen, zebras and focus peaking. Can even do a focus auto zoom then snap back. I can zoom crazy far and very clear. Control the camcorder with my phone. Shoot 4K 30 and nice 1080p. I can do more adjustments with the DSLR but the camcorder is so easy and pack able. Not that large at all. I do want to replace my Nikon one day but the camera companies don't want to give me the flippy screen.
