Ive read that Mini DV is better quality that HDD camcorders - is this correct ? We do tend to record quite a bit of family stuff, so quality does count, but I aint a professional ! I copy off my tapes to pc, and then use TMPGenc to improve the quality. HDD cameras seem a little more expensive, but then you dont have to buy any more tapes. Im looking at around the £200 mark, and probably a Sony or Canon. I'd love to get a camera that has analog input , but those are few and far between and seem to be at the top end of the market. Any thoughts guys ?
I prefer the video quality of miniDV tapes. If you capture via firewire, you have lossless quality. How does TMPGenc improve lossless quality?
