Handycam for video shooting
I always wanted to get a Sony HDR-CX240EB or Panasonic HC-V110 ...I have read several reviews about both and both are excellent ...will buy when I get married
Marriage life reach to complete 20 years & hence budget is no bar.
Looking for latest & decent handycam, preferably from my favorite-Sony.
LOL
Sony India site saysits HDR-CX240 E @rs.17,490/- not HDR-CX240 EB. Is it same? NFC & Wi-Fi enabled?
Any other higher & latest model in Sony? Budget-open.
Also, someone offers on other forum, a rarely used Sony HDR-CX150E with Looks 10/10, Functionality 10/10 & Out of warranty.

I really dont know y sony have put projector in all its top end handycams ....
I have a simple advice...just dont spend soo much on handycam ...I would still suggest a sony CX280 or a panasonic V230 as a day to day HD handycam ...its good enough

If NFC and wifi is very much required then get HDR-PJ340E ..its released in Jan 14 but cost almost 41k

Just out of interest I am joining the discussion. I have no idea what would a handcam user expect when buying a new one.
To keep it related to the thread, we can discuss the choices within his budget. i.e., 55k
* What would be the sensor size? - I learned that there are FF interchangeable lens video for less than 2L. Is this possible for him to get an APS C equivalent in this budget?
* How about an interchangeable lens video camera in this budget? Any camera exists in this budget?
* What are physical controls available? Like focus ring, aperture ring, buttons, knobs and dials to adjust setting.
* How about full manual exposure controls?
* What about the viewfinder? OVF or EVF or hybrid?
* I think pretty much all the handycams are equipped with fully articulated screen. Do they have touch screen?
* Some time ago, when I was reading an article about movie making with DSLR, there seems like a problem with sound recording. The industry standard is different than what DSLR offers. Does the handycam have the same issue? (I don't remember exactly, if I remember correct it's XLR)
* How about monitoring audio levels? Is there any jack input options?
* I guess there will be more sophisticated frame rates comparing with DSLR. How about the new features like 4k recording?
* External mic options?
* Is this possible to monitor the footage using external display like TV or something?
* How about flash? Don't laugh
* Is this possible to use any filters?
* RAW video options???
There could be lot more I wanted to ask. For now I am putting a [STRIKE]full stop[/STRIKE] coma and posting it.
