Great camera, although mine is only a B camera, it is still pulling it's weight! I had a few issues with the audio but the pictures have a lovely quality to them. February 2nd, , PM Les Howarth. I agree, I always liked the looks that come out of this camera, It's a good earner and I am still using my GY a.
I am not one to get attached to kit, but I admit, I do like this one - every time I think about a new camera I look at the images and say "Nope I'll keep it".
Instead I upgraded to a 17x lens last Summer and that effectively gave me a new camera but one that I already knew how to use. Better glass can indeed make it shine in SD or HD. HD which now clearly looks HD but not in a nasty "look at my megapixels" sort of way. The form factor is something they definitely got right too.
I did manage to frazzle the Firewire on the SD side of and pressed a cheapo camcorder into duty as a deck. February 2nd, , PM Rob Katz. February 2nd, , PM Rob Stowell. Basics: Firewire, dead pixels, and tape head-hours. Replacing a tapehead is going to be expensive, and spell the end of life, if you're keen on tape I still am, for both security and archiving.
Firewire is vital for most recording to HD or solid state media- which is the other option. I'd check any second-hand camera for dead pixels. These can be removed- up to a point- on the gy-dh, but only up to a point- and it might get you a price reduction : And another big- yep! Still like and use the HD for most production. Also have a , and I mildly prefer the , though I'm not sure I can tell the difference, and I've picked up the wrong one by mistake a few times. Picture quality and useability are big factors for me.
The picture is very solid, and imo looks especially good on the web. A higher bitrate would be good- still some motion problems- but I like p a lot- as mentioned, less pixels to deal with, edits beautifully, even on my old laptop which can't handle anything and 'upreses' to without any problems at all to my eye.
I'd prefer a better, and wider, lens. I like the look of the fuji 13x wide-angle, but oh, the price : Will also slowly move to dual format recording. If I can find a cheap solution to record component out at or even 35Mbs, and especially if with the HD's 50 fps option I can record 50 fps at a decent bit-rate, I can see these cameras having a much longer than anticipated useful life.

I have found myself wishing for a wider POV than the standard zoom in more than a few situations. With all that said, it seems that a used can be had at a remarkably affordable price, again, be sure of the fire wire issue, it ain't cheap to fix.
