None of these options will record the Full HD raster of 1920 x 1080. For that you have to step up to the $...000 (without lens) Panasonic HPX3000, which is the cheapest HD camera on the market that will record 1920 x 1080...

The HPX3000 from Panasonic also has and records a Full HD raster. But that camera is a little pricey, and like AVCHD, AVC-I isn't yet supported in Premiere.

What kind of full HD camera, the EX3 or one of the HDW-700 series? If you are considering a consumer full HD camera, be warned that is only AVCHD, which is not supported.

Hi I'm currently editing DV video, but I plan to upgrade my camera to a full HD (1920x1080) camera. Doing so, which upgrades should I do with my PC?... a) b) and c) need RAID? Are my HDD settings appropriate? When importing full HD material (using ForeWire), how much disk space does HD use per hour video (DV uses approx. 12 GB, what about HD?) Thanx Nicolaj

it will be my only option if I want to continue editing on PP 2.0, right? In HD, yes. DVCPro HD requires Premiere CS3. BR usually means Blu-ray. HDV size and disk speeds are the same as for DV. They get the HD signal to be the same size by using destructive MPEG compression.

Use a HDV camera, export to BR disk and play on a BR player in full resolution. The preset options depend on your shooting mode, most common is NTSC 29.97i or PAL 25i.

Your best bet would be a HDV camera which uses tape. All others is either asking for trouble or require a very convoluted work flow to convert to HDV, possibly with external programs or expensive plug-ins. AVCHD is the codec used in a camera, just as HDV is. HDV works great with PP. HDD, DVD, memory stick etc. cause trouble.

Thanx I have not checked which camera to buy, so nice to get information about which cameras that are not supported. Any other considerations which are important? HDD, DVD-burner og memory stick storage on the camera? I'm thinking of HDD. I'm not going for a very expensive one, but I do want a 1080-camera. AVCHD and AVC-I, are these model ID's (from which company?) - cuz I haven't heard of...
