Looking At High Definition Video Cameras
If you’ve been looking for a high definition video camera, there are many out there for you to choose from. In this article, we will take a look at some of your options available in each of the different formats.
HDV
JVC, Sony, and Canon all produce HDV cameras of various stripes and abilities. The JVC HD100U shoots 720p, offers a true 24p frame rate, and provides a professional looking form factor, along with sporting the ability to change out lenses.
The two popular HDV cameras from Sony include the HDR-FX1 and the HVR-Z1U. Both of them shoot only 1080i and provide 24p. The XL h1 is Canon’s entry to the HDV roundup. It provides HD SDI output and gives you the option of interchanging lenses. Like Sony, it shoots 1080i without true 24p capabilities.
All of these cameras are 3CCD models and all sport level professional XLR audio inputs, with the exception of the HDR-FX1. Sony also offers single chip HDV cameras. The consumer HC1, which is actually a miniature version of the FX1 is an excellent camera.
DVCPRO HD
on the budget end of the Panasonic spectrum is the AG-HVX200. This widely hyped camera does away with tape based HD recording and will instead record HD to either memory cards or even an attached hard drive. It also offers the ability to shoot all the above mentioned HD resolutions along with 50 and DV25.
Another popular camera for Panasonic is the Varicam which shoots at 720p. A great feature with this camera is the ability to shoot at variable frame rates, which range from 4 – 60fps at 1fps intervals. These different frame rates will allow you to achieve a look similar to that of over cranking a film camera.
HDCAM
Sony couples their HDCAM cameras together under the name CineAlta. They cover a broad range of prices and features, ranging from the XDCAM HD models and the F350 to the widely used and widely popular F950.
The XDCAM HD cameras record directly to Sony’s professional disc media, which is physically similar to Blu-ray discs. These cameras can also record various quality levels of 1080i and 1080p, along with regular SD DVCAM. Unlike other HD cameras from Sony, the XDCAM HD supports i-Link for file access and DV output.
Near the high end of the Sony HD solutions is the F900. It captures both 1080p and 1080i at various frame rates, including 25p and 50i. This is also the most expensive camera from Sony, as it costs around 80,000$!

Are there any official light attachments for the Sony HVR-A1U? Im not a pro so im weary of the cheap lights.?
I did a search and couldn’t find anything made by Sony. And all the ones listed as compatible on Amazon are generic and say they can fit just about anything. I want a light that works for my camera but isn’t cheap.
The Sony HVR-A1U has an “Active Interface Shoe” – AIS. Sony has several AIS-connectable lights available. But none are pro-grade – they are for the consumer cams with an AIS. These AIS lights use the camcorder’ as the power supply, so the camcorder’s battery life takes a hit.
Better to use a camera bracket (do a search at amazon using “bower camera bracket” for an example). The regular sized accessory shoe can then mount any video light you want, but balance is important. I went lightweight with a LED light I got at BHphotovideo…. It uses the same rechargeable battery as my HDR-FX1, so that’s handy… It is a “Dot-Line DLC Video light”. If you don’t want to use the camera bracket, this video light came with a couple of “adapters – one of them allows mounting to the AIS – but the light still needs its own battery. One comes in the kit, along with a charger. For $100, it is not too bad.
Or… you can go down the NRG Research or Bescor higher-end lights… for WAY more $ and WAY different power requirements (belt packs).
