yeah linux is a camera lawl
But man, you should buy the HV20! It's awesome, especially when you figure out the secret to rendering llolol. The sony hdr-hc7 is really good too, but doesn't match the hv20.

So true! I mean I can get it so that I have a high quality link which makes it awesome but if you dont click it then the quality is shocking. Also to get this it always comes out as a huge file and it took me 7 hours to upload my last sampler:ogre:

aw you got the xl-h1? AND you figured out rendering, haha that's unfair :( <3

I wish I had both of them things man:sad:

I don't like this camera i think it is very week and flimsy.
Sony Z1 is the best in my opinion. It's £3000 very strong structure and everything is manual and personaly i think it is a lot better than this one.

If you want a good cheap camera then the Panasonic 100 is a really fucking good camera!

It is a bit old but it is one hell of a good camera! I use them for college when we make films. They produce some top quality footage and it has a lot of manual features on it.

People I havent really got that camcorder hahaha!! It was for jokes!

I do have a cannon though but its about 3 years old now and falling apart (mainly becasue i've abused it throughout its liftime) But it can still produce some good footage:smile:
