Cameras

As a group we have a decision to make. This is what camera to use. The two possible options have both advantages and disadvantages, thus making our choice tougher.

The first camera is a Sony HDV,

Advantages

Disadvantages

The camera has a ranges of features such as white balance and filters

Due to its size it is hard to transport

With HD capability this will give recordings a crisp image and the ability of being stretched with out loss of detail.

It is tough to use because of the mass of buttons and options and can easily be misused.



The second camera is a Sony HandyCam.

Advantages

Disadvantages

It has easily accessible tape hold even when attached to complex equipment.

It does not however have a manual focus meaning some shots would have to be changed

Simple button lay out means a easy operation

Unable to shoot in HD


After consulting with the group we have come to the conclusion that the Song HDV is our best choice of camera to use for our music video
