i shoot 720p 30p with HVX200.

i edit in vegas

just bought 2 hdc-hs300 for special purpose shoot (must be lightweight)

didnt realize they were only 60i (with a supposed 24p "mode" but im doing 30p anyway so im not sure thats a big help)

so assuming only 60i

do i keep the 2 hdc-hs300 cams i just bought that shoot 60i and try to "conform" in vegas 30p timeline (along with p2 shot at 30p)

or do i upgrade to 2 HMC40 cams that advertise 1080/30p (over 60i)

is there a real world difference in vegas when editing and rendering ?
 
The TM300 resolves about 800 lines, you lose half of them, so it will be 400 lines against HVX's 600 lines. You decide.

If you don't need to perform fancy focus racks, then just get two HF100/10/11 for about $500 each (used or refurb'd). You will have your 30p right out of the camera.

P.S. The TM300's 24p is not native, so it is a big pain in the butt if you don't have something like Cineform.

can i use a clas 6 sdhc card in the hf100? does the mbs matter? the 40 i think has higher mbs and the tm300s are max 17mbs

i feel like it was stupid to get these tm300s--- got them cuz of the hdd but at this point i would be happy with flash

i might want to return them for a different small 30p cam
 
HF-S is a good cam, but is less sensitive than last year's HF100/10/11, and costs at lest twice more. Its thumbwheel is barely adequate for focusing, but everything else is better than on the Pana. Have fun.
