weber 0 #1 March 3, 2002 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #3 March 3, 2002 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......Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud... ~ Bush Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeFlyFreaky 0 #4 March 5, 2002 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.

gus 1 #5 March 5, 2002 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.Gus"Sex?

PhreeZone 20 #6 March 5, 2002 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.Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud... ~ Bush Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
