hi, i need a video camera that takes absolutely top quality video for advertising my horses I have been considering something from the Canon HFS range - HFS 10, 11, 20, 21
Or sony HDR CX 550
or JVC GZ HM 550 or HM1
All specs must be top of the line such as 24 Mbps, 30 frames per second, at least 8 MP stills And a really big sensor - 1. 1/2 " Also must have good image stabilisation as i have to walk around a bit while shooting
Must have good optical zoom as horses move very fast
Must be able to be edited into high quality video clips easily - thats why panasonic isnt on the list as i have heard its harder to edit - is this correct?
Also i need to be able to take photos from the frame by frame video footage or 'captures' to use as photos for prospective buyers of my horses and that can also be published in magazines
Can you tell me if i am looking at the right cameras - or do you have another suggestion?
I dont want a fully professional big camera, just a high end consumer model
i am not worried about spending $2000 or so either, as its how i make my living
Any help would be appreciated
Paulamc
