I'm not looking at pro-level cams, just consumer level cams below $1000. I'll probably just be using iMovie, not Final Cut. 24p is not an issue, although 16x9 mode would be nice since my next TV will probably be widescreen. |
Resolution in this case (as opposed to other features) seems to be the name of your game and that means the Panasonic PV-GS250 will give you better resolution with a Leica lens and 3.1 megapixels resolution than the Canon Optura 60 with 2.2 megapixels (although the Canon does have 16:9 aspect ratio). But, now that I look a bit further (in the B&H Photo catalog that came in yesterday's mail) I think the Panasonic might also have the better feature set as well.
Tough call. You wouldn't go wrong with either one, but I'd go with the Panasonic.
Although I would REALLY search around for the very best deal I could get on a AG-DVX100 or a 100A. Chances are you would NEVER outgrow it's capability, no matter who was watching the finished product they would NEVER find fault with the image quality and (this may seem a petty issue but it DOES sometimes mean the difference between landing a gig or not landing the gig) because the DVX100 is a true professional quality camera it just LOOKS more impressive than either of the other two.
