Useless Video Cam

**reym** · January 20th, 2011 09:49 AM

Bumili ako ng Cannon DC-420 last december. Mayroon sya kasama verbatim dvd-rl . Nung mapuno ung dvd-rl hindi mabasa ng kahit anong dvd reader, maliban sa camera. So bumili na ako ng sony dvd+rw, dvd-rw na sony, hindi naman ma basa ng camera. Lahat nung model ng mini dvd na ok sa user's manual hindi available sa pilipinas.

Tumawag ako sa service center wala naman maibigay sakin na compatible brands at baka daw may sira ung camera dalhin ko daw sa service center nila.

Napaka ubod ng bwisit itong cannon....

Did you finalize the DVD before playing it in a DVD player? Kailangan ma-finalize muna yan otherwise talagang sa recorder mo lang mapapanuod yan.

Thanks Nell

Ung DVD-RDL, naka gray ung option na finalize eh.

Same here. I have one of those HD Videocams where the video is stored in an SD Card.

Excellent video and easy download to your PC....

Update: DVD - RW pala ang pede me hindi alam sa customer service. Kaso 30 mins lang isang side, pag mag set ka para extend hanggang 1 hr. parang cell phone video. Sayang ang pera ko d2 sa camera na to.

Ano ba ang ok na hd camera?

Yup, you've wasted your money on that Sir. Cut your losses and sell it.

For decent HDD based vidcams, there's Sony, Panasonic and other lesser known brands like JVC. You can also now buy those with 3D lenses.

You can buy the Canon Powershot SX210is. It is a 14mp digital camera with 720 high definition video recording mode. It saves images & videos to SDHC cards (also supports SDXC cards). It has a dedicated video record button (which can be programed for other features too).

More info: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PROD...S/SX210ISA.HTM

You can buy this at under P13,000 from grey market retailers. You can check TIPIDPC (digital camera selling area) for actual prices, sellers and their places.

Note: for best performance, buy SD cards that are class 6 to class 10.

This might not be what you are looking for but it can do the job pretty well.

Buy only from authorized Canon PH dealers for the 3yr warranty. Yung mga 1 yr service (no parts) warranty is practically turd. It's useless.

You can also take a look at Canon SX30 IS.
