What is the next step up in low cost HD cameras?

It must be that your computer cannot keep up. I see no dropped frames there at all.

I believe UDMA7 is a fairly recent development and you'd probably do just as well with something in the 4 range but like the other person said check with Canon. There's no point in spending more than you have to. Contacting them or checking their support page online is best.

﻿If clear and autonomy is very good, but this camera is HD better go with a HD model

I can't wait for a reviewer to get their hands on the HS20. Sounds great on paper.HS20 reportedly has Bigger CMOS sensor and faster circuits (along with a few other fixes, plus remote shutter release capable, more frames per second, SDXC, and includes a proper bayonet mounted hood).HS10 at under $400 sounded too good to be true, this sounds more like it, how it is worth the extra dough.DP Review reports the basics (propaganda):http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11010513fujifilmhs20exr.asp

The TriCaster units are far more than simple switchers, offering internal video and graphics players, keying, advance Virtual Set technology, multiple DSKs, and RECORDING internally to many different formats to suit any need, in HD or SD. Did I mention live web streaming also? Regarding cameras, not everyone can run out and buy HD-SDI cameras, so TC40 offers an affordable solution to those with existing HDV cameras or other legacy units. Many NEW HD cameras still offer component analog HD output as well, so definitely not an obsolete standard.

You can use pretty much any camera that has a BNC/RCA composite connection that is 720x480 resolution or less. Decent cameras for home use can be found for $50.00 or less. Do some research and pick cameras that fit your budget and needs best. Just remember, the old saying applies here... you get what you pay for.

Although still cheap, I think maybe the next step up would be a Sanyo as mentioned or something like the Aiptek Action HD GVS.

Radioshack has CG10 for $129 right now. I don't think any other small form factor cameras can match the feature/price it offers even Flips, Kodaks.

I'm not that familiar with your current camera, but I tell you I am very happy with my new video camera. I don't know if your camera offers HD video or not, but that's one thing that makes this one great.

I keep thinking the price will drop on the D90, just like the Canon did. Canon 50D doesn't offer the video recording does it? My worse fear is always buying a portable item at this price point, losing or dropping it. There is a certain amount of loss I can afford.I am not waiting too much longer to buy, the video option is weighing less on my mind since I just bought the wife a Panasonic Lumix (Tz50?) for quick pics. It was a HD video capture option, much better than the D90's, higher resolution, and the ability to zoom while recording. Cheap at $237.

well the hd models are pretty close to the price of the non hd, so go for the hd

No this is not a better camera for this price ! But also consider a good tripod with this camera.

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

It's still a damn good camera. Their update to it is better quality but aimed at the professional market. 5 megapixel photos and its hd video setting should work just fine for you. I wouldn't pay more than $90 for it though. The problem with the c920 the other answerer mentioned is that it doesn't have motorized pan or tilt.

No, it is not a HD camera, but you would never know it by the video's it takes.I love this camera,and sosatisfied with it.It does everything I want in a home camera.
