They both shoot to the 1080i specification. The HC7 is simply an HC5 with more options. Both are obsolete. I doubt you could find them, they shoot onto MiniDV tape. The camera is not so important as choosing your storage media (tape, disk, or shoot to a thumb drive, etc), image and sound quality. The Sony products in general have decent image and sound quality. The Canon products in general produce stunning images, and (in my experience anyway) inferior sound (to the Sony). The better the chips in the camera, the better the image handling will be on whatever brand you buy. If you can buy a camera with 3 chips to handle the cardinal colors, the better off you will be. Most HD cameras are 1 chip by far, and the larger the chip (in general) the better it will handle cardinal colors by splitting the spectrum into sectors on that chip. > > Shooting: if you want a cinema like feel, you will choose a camera that has the option to stamp images on the sensor individually at a 24 or 25 progressive film rate. > > Good luck on your voyage. > > MM http://www.treasuresites.com (movies and whatnot) > > > On Apr 7, 2013, at 6:37 PM, rocheconst@aol.com wrote: > >> >> >> Capt.

Check out the Go Pro (camera) website. That's what the Coast Guard crew uses on some of their ships. BTW, I recently saw them in Costco. -----Original Message----- From: Great-Loop [mailto:great-loop-bounces@lists.trawlering.com] On Behalf Of Matt Mattson Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 4:51 PM To: Great Loop List Subject: GL: video recorder > Subject: Re: video recorder > > Bob, > > I'll throw this out to the general "loop" list so they can glean whatever info as well. > > I use a Sony HDR HC5 and a Sony HDR HC7 for filming though I do occasionally shoot with Canon products as well.
