Low end Camera for vegas
Finally got some Govt. paperwork all done and it looks as though a RAID + vegas suite will be with a speech pathology unit.
They will use the gear to record/archive/edit client apointments etc.
I’ve been asked to suggest a camera for them – I know nothing about consumer cameras (which is all they can afford), so thought I’d ask you guys about some likely possabilities.
At the moment they are on a variety of miniDV cameras, all pretty old and starting to missbehave. I’m thinking a flash or HD camera for fast transfer to edit, they have no need of HD and I would preffer to be able to give them a nice SD picture due to storage capacity.
Anything out there that people would recomend?
Thanks

You want something that is going to work day-in and day-out so I would not buy too cheap. Any of the inexpensive HDD recorders like the Sony DCR-SR45 30GB camcorder should be fine. Depending on how they want to archive footage they might even want a DVD camcorder like the Sony DCR-DVD610. If you do get a Sony HDD handycam you can still pair it with a Sony VRD-MC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder and instantly archive footage to DVD so you can have both AVI and DVD’s if you need them. I agree with you to avoid tape. Either HDD or DVD SD camcorders should fit nicely into their workflow.

Had a play with a Sony DCR-SR45 30GB – think that this is on the right track.
Thanks for the help
