That is cheap!!

Hey rage, what's better? micro or mini DV? I've been deciding between this model or spend a little more and get the dcr-pc101.

Thanks!

MiniDV is higher quality than MicroMV but most of the MicroMV camcorders are smaller and cheaper (and encode straight to mpeg2).

[rage2]

The MicroDV cams are cheaper than the MiniDV cams because MicroDV records in MPEG2, so it uses lower quality lens since there's data loss when compressing to MPEG2.

MiniDV records in the DV AVI format, lossless compression, so the source signal is of really high quality.

If you take a MiniDV, compress the image to MPEG2 and burn to a DVD, and compare a MicroDV MPEG2 recording on a DVD, the MiniDV version is far superior, especially on HiDef TV's and Progressive Scan DVD players. I did some experimenting in this area a few months ago.

For internet videos, there's no difference. MicroDV is a smaller tape, so it's a wee bit more convienient.

Since I do a lot of work on DVD's, I'm staying with MiniDV, so the upgrade is to the Sony 120BT MiniDV camcorder. Want that Bluetooth feature... Reason why I have to sell before friday is because I want it upgraded before the wife comes home...

Forgot to mention, the camcorder records in MPEG movie mode as well if you don't feel like encoding from MiniDV to MPEG. The MPEG videos are transferred via USB.
