[Don Poe] “I use my PD150 all of the time to do timelapses.”
My response was also in consideration that with film and “BTV” (or similar) capture, you can record for many HOURS, DAYS, even MONTHS, without disturbing the camera.
And that is what’s required for many protracted time-lapse events.
(i.e. life of a flower, construction site, seasons changing.)
The multi-frame (rather than single-frame) recordings (which use up the tape at a 15-to-1 faster rate) coupled with the severely limited number of “in-between time” settings on DV camcorders makes them useless for all but relatively short-term time-lapses.
