Sony HVR-M15U and Canon HV30 Question
Hello all, just a quick question about digitizing footage into FCP.
I am getting a new ongoing freelance gig that will be shooting on a Canon HV30. I currently am not set up to get the HDV footage into my system and have been using the camera while the shooter is here to encode. However, that’s not a feasible option all the time so I am looking at options to be able to do this without her camera.
My first thought was to simply get the Canon HV30 myself, but I’m not really looking for a camera and would simply use it as a deck. Then I came across the Sony HVR-M15U and wondered if this would satisfy my needs for the Canon HV30 footage (in any mode that the footage is shot in) as well as for other MiniDV footage.
Any thoughts on the compatibility of these two products? Any real life experiences anyone can share?
Many thanks,
Cory -

yeah that will work fine.
but only 30 fps video
it will not playback 24f.

Hmm, that’s what I was worried about. OK, looks like i’ll just have to get the camera itself then.
Thanks Chris,

The HVR M-35U can play back 24f.

Yeah, I figured the higher ones would certainly start to get into that, but it’s definitely out of my budget at the moment which is why is was hoping the HVR-M15U would.
