Hi peeps.

I need help on what video camera to buy.

I just bought a panansonic hdd 30gb job.>>GO HERE FOR VID CAMERA<<

After a little use i decided to have a look at the quality of the film on the computer.It was definently not what i had expected.when you look through the lcd screen you think it will be good but when it comes to full view,to me i have seen better quality tape camcorders,i cant see what all of the rage is about.sure it is convenient to transfer data.but i dont really care about it if the quality is not going to be there.so im going to get my money back within the 7day customer satisfaction period.

I was looking at the 3ccd panasonic camcorder.This one is only a few hundred more than what i have paid for my current camera as you can see.>>GOOD GUYS VIDEO CAMERAS<< also i have seen the quality off the dvd camcorders,what i was going to get untill i got hdd,which are pretty good.

Another reason i went his way was because i will be shooting some in car footage and i thought that the dvd will skip while recording.does it??

What way should i go?

Hi peeps.(This thread is posted elsewhere in the photography sect also)

only prob is that good guys dont have it catalouged so i dont know for certain if they can get it or not.

thanks for the input so far keep it coming.

Tape is still what the pros use...

Every camera over $2000 is tape...

Reason why is it is fail safe, does not suffer from heat, magnetic fields or vibration... Perfect for in car use...

If you want quality footage then id suggest the HV20 (Canon) have a look online at the reviews, it is awesome with true 1920x1080 progressive capture on a CMOS sensor...

You will be spending a solid $1600-1700 tho for this unit, if thats too much then just buy a cheap tape camera $400-500 (like the MD160) as it will be better than 90% of the HDD cameras out on the market at the moment...

if you plan on doing any in car stuff then atm there is only one option. mini DV. both hard disk and DVD cams are susceptible to sharp knocks, and even vibration can kill them at worst and give you bad footage at best. and if you want really good quality then you need a 3CCD camera. so narrow that search to mini dv 3CCD cams and you will be onto a winner. for handycams i've always liked JVC and I have one now.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
