PC 9 or PC 110???

Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to buy my first camera and I want to do it right the first time. I have a bonehead mindwarp helmet already. Does anyone have any opinions between the PC 9 and PC 110? Any other tips would also be appreciated. Thanks for the input!

9 is smaller and cheaper if you don't have a lot of cash.
My 110 has been hit twice now by the risers and I'm wishing i had either got the 9 or the Micro DV camera. That being said the 110 serves me perfect, as long as i rembmer to turn it on......

If you want to do any serious editing then its either the PC110 or now the PC120. I've fire-wired clips from 9's and 5's the quailty of the 110 and 120 are far superior. The difference is not just in the stats, it's visibly different. I edit with Adobe Premiere 6.0.
The numbers ------ The PC110 has 1.07 megapixels with 520 lines of res and the PC120 has 1.5 megapixels with 530 lines. vs. 680K pixels and 500 lines for the PC9. From a purely quality perspective it's a no brainer. The PC120 is da bomb.
Opening snags? I have a PC110 mounted on a Arrow Dymanics Hawkeye helmet with a D-box. Personally I've never had a problem. But I never look up at my canopy during deployment. I look straight down and actually keep my head tilted down until fully deployed.

I love my PC9 but probably should have got the 110. I like to take stills off the video and the PC9 being limited to 640x480 (vs 1024x768 for the PC110 ???) is a bit of a pain.
Having said that, the PC9 was cheaper, smaller and the image quality is still really good.

Taking stills off the video is the same no matter what camera you use. The 110 has a megapixel for Stills only. The camera is either a megapixel digital camera or a camcorder at one time, not both. The 110 has the same limitation on capturing stills from DV. Actually, the limitation is in the DV format its self.
