Professional 1080P Camcorder

NAB 2010: Panasonic Shows Off 3D Professional HDTV Camcorder


Which camera should I buy?


I like to make youtube videos and movies with my friends. I currently have a Flip Ultra camcorder and it’s okay but I would like one that’s better. Today I bought some polaroid camcorder from Target that was 1080p and it was ok but only let me use 2gb and when I used more I was afraid to hurt it. I want one that can take a few hours of video and has 1080p at least. I don’t want a huge professional one for like 10k. I want one around 200 more or less and It should take still shots too.
Maybe a Sanyo?

I would suggest Sanyo VPC-CG10 HD Flash Memory Camcorder w/5x Optical Zoom
Capture HD digital video (720p, 30fps) and up to 10-megapixel still photos
5x optical zoom; 3-inch widescreen LCD
Face Chaser technology (can detect up to 12 faces for photos and videos)
Built-in still photo flash; High-Speed Sequential Shooting (7fps)

Play Panasonic HDC TM700 AVCHD on Droid X and Stream it with HDTV via DLNA

One prominent point of Droid X is its compatibility with DLNA service. For users, it is one of key features which enables users to share Droid X music, video and image with other DLNA-capable TV, and other portable devices.

To view Panasonic HDC TM700 AVCHD recordings on HDTV via Droid x, Aunsoft MTS Converter is the ideal third-party software enabling AVCHD files to be played on Droid X. As a professional HD Camcorder Converter, this software takes AVCHD footage as source video and helps users to convert and edit AVCHD (.mts/ .m2ts) to other devices and software playable video formats. As I will demonstrate, convert Panasonic TM700 AVCHD to Droid X MPEG 4.

This article includes two parts:

Part I. Put Panasonic TM 700 AVCHD on Dorid X

Step 1. Load Panasonic 1080p MTS to Aunsoft MTS/M2TS to Droid X Converter.
Drag and drop MTS video files into this software or click the Add button to load the .mts files to this software.

Step 2. Choose Motorola Droid X MP4 output.
Click the Format option and choose Android > Motorola Droid X H.264 Video (*.mp4) (recommended) for output.

Tip: The default resolution of output format H.264 MP4 is 480*320, if you don’t like it, please click “Settings” to set the size (pixel) to 800*480 or 854*480, or you can custom the resolution if you wish to.

Step 3. Join MTS videos for Droid X. (optional)
Tick the checkbox for Merge into one file next to the Settings button, and the MTS joiner will merge the video clips according to the ranking order on the file list.

Step 4. Convert MTS to Motorola Droid X MP4.
Click the convert button under the preview window and the conversion from .mts to mp4 for Motorola Droid X starts right away.

After the conversion is finished, connect Droid X to computer and transfer the video to Droid X.

Pat II. Stream Droid X with HDTV via DLNA

The DLNA service could be used as a stand alone, or used in combination with HDMI. A home network (wired or wireless) or WiFi network shall be set up with your DLNA compatible TV and Droid X.

Step 1. Turn on Droid X and the TV, and select DLNA application on Droid X to start sharing media files. If you get the message to turn on Wi Fi connection, just click Yes and go to the settings menu to turn on Wi-Fi.

Step 2. From the DLNA screen, select “Share media”, and select the media (Video, Music, Picture) you want to play in the “My shared media” screen. Then click OK.

Step 3. Wait for a few seconds for connecting Motorola Droid X to TV, and a green DLNA logo will appear at the top of Droid X screen for sharing movies and other media files to TV.

Hope you can get something from this article.
