Oops, I meant 720p60 is hyper reality…
forgot the 60 fps.
The trimpac deal is pretty amazing.

The HD200 gives you the option of shooting 720p60 which is more suited for ENG and sports. The 110 is limited to 720p30 which is fine and looks great. You’ll just notice the slower frame rate during scenes with lots of motion.
In a nutshell, 720p is hyper reality.
That said, both cameras handle regular DV equally.
The only other thing I would mention is that the HD200 comes pre-configured with Anton Bauer battery system, which is huge for those needing long run times such as doc film makers and run and gunners. The 110 uses a consumer battery system.
If you intend to primarily work in SD then then the 110 is wonderful and has component out for live studio integration in HD or SD. Now if you in fact had three functioning HD200’s you would probably have the highest end student program in the country, including universities!

59.94 is pretty much as close to reality as we can get. It is what it is- super clean motion images without judder- like you’re there. Best for sports and reality TV.

Heard it through the grapevine that Leopard better manages multi processors using Compressor.
But don’t take it from me- wait for the early adopters to report.

No you can’t pull it from that hard drive. The DVR records DV which is exactly the same format as shooting to tape so there is no image quality advantage to using the DVR.

My tests came to the exact same conclusion. In fact I still have my dual 2.7 G5 (I edit on an octocore) just to do MPEG conversions.
Leopard is supposed to fix all this but I haven’t got it yet.
Alvo, you can look up my previous posts by viewing my profile and you’ll see what was said before.

I work in 720p60 all day, every day. Most of the footage is from the JVC HD200 but I deal with tons of still images as well.
If you really want to save time in rendering you can do everything in 720p30 (29.97) as most of the time it looks pretty sweet unless it’s sports or something.
Burning an HD-DVD is simple and the players are $200 now. I’ve personally been floored by these developments as clients can now see exactly what I see in the edit suite image quality wise.
The other advantage to editing in 720p is that you can make 480p30 DVD’s which look almost as good as the HD-DVD’s. Pretty amazing.

People who own expensive cameras tend to use one and ONLY one type of tape period. People who own cheaper cameras tend to throw in any kind of tape- used or new. The only danger is gunking up the heads which I suppose could in turn ruin a tape. That said I can’t imagine that a well maintained cheap camera could ruin a tape.
I think you have an official wives tale.

Well then it sounds like the easiest thing to do is just set the camera to shoot standard def DV to tape (you can choose either anamorphic 16×9 or the camera can even shoot good old 4×3). If shooting standard def then anamorphic 16×9 looks a lot better than 4×3 with this camera.
Just use the camera as a deck to transfer the footage to your computer with Premier.
You could capture uncompressed to the DVR (via SDI if the DVR has this option) which would give you stunning image quality but you would need one seriously smokin’ top of the line DVR. Honestly this would be very impractical.
You’ll have to get into the menus to set the camera up for DV 480i but it’s not too complicated.

Hi Michael,
Will you also be projecting the HD250 live or just recording for later? Also do you have access to the JVC BRHD50 deck?
Lastly, do need HD footage at any point yet or can you live with DV at this point?
