freeflir29 0 #3 August 20, 2002 I have a Panasonic that was a bit cheaper than the Sony products. It's PC-DV252D. I think this years model is the 352. The only thing it doesn't have that a Sony does is a LANC port. So....no Cameye for you!!! However Skydance makes some gadgets that are close or you could just build one at radio shack. One thing I like about a BUNCH more than Sony is the playbck controls. The Panasonic has real buttons instead of the touch screen. They won't wear out. It does seem to be a little more sensitive than the Sony to Dew but not a whole lot. I have 60 some jumpe on mine so far and I like it. Base price was $842 I think.

Craig 0 #6 August 22, 2002 Well, I just bought a DCR-PC101 for $879 (yes new) from http://www.bestdiscocam.com/productdetail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=SONVPC101 The usual going rate for this cam is around $1,200. I'm not looking to jump it for quite a while so I haven't looked to see if they make d-boxes for them yet but I am sure they will. As far as service goes I called them back up today to confirm the order I placed on line and the guy seemed really cool. I did all the research on that model before calling in. Yes he did give a quite elaborate sales pitch on some items I might want to go with it, specifically a higher capacity battery and a separate charger. He finally talked me into it by knocking $20 of the extra items and gave me his name and extension# and in the future if I need anything I am supposed to get free shipping and price breaks on whatever, hope the latter holds true. Sorry, probibally more info than you was looking for but I was happy so... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #7 August 22, 2002 Does anybody know if this is one of those companies that sells the camera, but none of the other stuff that usually comes with them? -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rushmc 23 #9 August 27, 2002 Has anyone used the Sony DCR-IP5 Mirco MV camcorder? Any thoughts? I have found this unit new at http://www.bwayphoto.com/product.asp?item=sndcrip5&l=1 for less than $600.00. Anyone done business with this company?

Search for Micro MV on this forum (make sure to select search all posts) I was totally stoked about the IP series when they came out because of the size, but found that they aren't really that well suited for skydiving. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
