I’m really thinking about buying a sony hvr 1000e. Now I’ve used it and thought it was only alright, i kinda bashed it. But its unfair to do that at the price its at. It offers focus ring and 1080i as well as {XLR inputs and it really is as cheap as you can go while still getting XLR inputs}. <<<< it doesnt actually have XLR inputs !!! its got regular 3.5mm jack for a microphone.
Does anyone own a Sony HVR 1000e ? what are they like ? Where can you buy em cheap? I can get it for 1500 + 13.50 for shipping at pixmania.ie , or from creativevideo for 1200 minus vat. But I’m not sure how much the vat would be. Anyways looking for ANY advice! Cheers, looking forward to what ye gotta say =].

Just decided I’d edit this post as ive now found the same camera for 1491 including delivery + HDV tape + long life battery. The Battery would be 220euro including shipping from pixmania, from these guys its like 109euro, its half price!. so camera,battery + tape in a pack price comes to 1491. Beats the crap out of pixmania and there not bad price wise usually. Also found the actual camera for about 1260 on its own.
.Guys i really need some help here. I’ve shot on a few cameras alright and would know pretty much all the functions ya need to shoot nice video. I suppose i need a camera bag too, anyone know where to pick one up cheap? i mean there about 150 upwards to like 350 euro ! for a bag… i just dont understand that.
Cheers !
It’s a very good , beginner camera I reckon as it allows you to learn a bit about using filters , has reasonably good features for a HDV consumer camera
It gives you a little scope alright , but is really aimed more towards the pro am videographer ( y’know , the uncle who brings a camera to the wedding / christening / communion )For pure film purposes , it seems that the canon 7D 5D and 550D seem to be the things to get at the moment , which while they have their own limitations and concerns , are capable of far better images when in the best conditions that any HDV camera is capable of in it’s best conditions
I could go into great detail on all the particular drawbacks of both systems . but I reckon that overview is enough , ( and I think you already know the drawbacks on the HD 1000e )
