PerroneFord:What's wrong with using miniDV tapes?
Not a thing, never said there was.DaFireMedic:I agree. I have been using standard TDK MiniDV tapes in my HD camcorder and I can't tell the difference, and I still don't get dropouts when capturing.
sjspeck:I was just kidding WL that he hasn't seen the end of the expensive options since HDV tapes are over $10 ea.
DiverKKC:Thanks to everyone for the information. It really is very helpful.
I have looked at a couple of the DIY housing kits, and haven't ruled them out. They're simple; basically turn on camcorder, seal it, and shoot the entire dive. Editing is post-dive.
I've looked at several models in various price ranges, and am still not close to deciding....sigh. I'll continue to research.
Thanks again for all the help, the responses from experienced videographers are priceless.
Trwmodela:I am staying away from the HD equipment now until the experts have better results.
