hi to all
wondering which to buy Sony HDR-SR8E, CX6 or panasonic HDC-SD5
i need it in the next 2weeks before i fly to california.... only drawback is i also need an available underwater housing to go with it.... as i am cage diving with great white sharks and want to capture it all in HD...
The panasonic HDC-SD5 seems to be the best..... but i cant find an underwater housing so im stuck?
So what is the Sony HDR-SR8E like?? is it the same resolution as the SD5?
there is an Ikelite underwater housing for the sony sr8........ its another £700 ontop of the £900 camera though!!
and also the CX6 is that new/better than the SD5.... guess its to new for a housing yet?
saw a review says AVCHD compression is more aggresive than HDV and picture quality is worse.... is this noticable/across all models or just sonys as i dont know if i should look to HDV instead??
can you buy something like the hyper drive and download all the HDD video from the sonys without a pc while on holiday incase it gets corrupt in the camera... i see it works with SD cards another plus for the panyy HDC-SD5 - if it only had a housing i would be sorted!
many thanks for helping me get my decison made....
