Trixstr528 0 #1 November 19, 2010 I was thinking about buying a back up camera for skydiving since i already have a cx100 i was thinking about buying a DCR-SX63 this camera is not technically HD since it only has 720p but does anyone know how the internal memory reacts during skydiving or any other things about it?

PharmerPhil 0 #2 November 19, 2010 I don't know about the camera hands on, but it looks like it will work fine. Just a clarification though, it is not 720P. 720P IS a high-def format, and refers to a video that is 720 horizontal, but 1280 vertical lines of resolution, and progressively scanned. This is 720 (V) x 480 (H), and probably is an interlaced video. This is the SD format that most DVDs are recorded at. Also, I can't tell what connector it has. If it has the D-connector (which is what I suspect), it may work with a Hypeye D. But is it has the old style AV connector, you may have a hard time rigging some sort of visual indicator. But again, I am not sure which connector it has. Should be easy to find out though. The other thing to look for is if it has a threaded lens (I couldn't tell from the pics). You will need this to put on a wide-angle lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #3 November 19, 2010 I don't think that camera has a filter thread, so no wide angle option. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
