This might seem like a naive question, but, what camera gives you better image quality, DVX100B on squeeze mode or HV30?
 
You are comparing 2 cameras that have very different characteristics.

Better really only means what do you want to see.

The HV30 is hi-def. There's no comparison there.
I personally hate hi-def most of the time because it shows too much detail too get a smooth "artistic" look - that's what I like. (Especially peoples faces)

Come to think of it - these 2 cameras would probably almost never give you the same results in any environment or application. That's a good thing.

HEY! I just saw some sale prices for the HV30... GET BOTH and you'll have great tools.
 
The DVX has so much more options and it has a pretty good 16:9 mode (squeeze)! If you want HD, you can always export the video as 720 or 1080... Because the DVX has all those amazing features that the HV20/30 just doesn't have.

the HV30 is a great camera and I think it holds up great images but I like the DVX more.
plus think about it.
the HV30 is a $600 camera vs. the DVX is a $2000 camera. it seems pretty clear to me which is better...

Well this is DVXuser.com so I guess everyone says they like the DVX but in HV20.com you might get different answer:):)
 
You pay the extra money for all of those professional manual controls. The dvx lets you control every aspect of the image, and actually has a focus, zoom, and iris ring.
 
Both very different cameras but I would say for image HV30 FTW! Matter of fact check out the HF100 as well, about 5 bills and NO MORE TAPE!

Hey johnny Cola,

I just watched your "Hyper Strain" trailer.

I see some style there.

Keep up the good work.
