I am thinking of getting this camcorder. Just checking with any forum members who have own it.
1. Can it work with any firewire card ?
2. Can I use Premiere 6.5 to capture the DV ?
3. How is the video quality ?
Thanks in advance.

I just bought the hc30 last night, is very much the same as far as i know, only mine takes low resolution pics ( photos ).
The video image is awesome.
I bought the cheapest fire wire card ($35 AU) and that works fine. cable cost $25 AU.
so far no regrets. -
Great camera, but i have always owned sony's.
Two issues for me.
When filming in widescreen mode, you can't take any still pictures. Not vital, but you lose one feature for another.
Low-light filming isn't as good as my previous analogue sony.
I think thats another trade off for a higher resolution CCD.
Other than that, good battery, excellent touch-screen controls, light and compact.
In anwer to your questions:
1. i dont see why not.
2. ditto
3. Great, as far as I am concerned (subject to the 2nd gripe above!) -
i have the HC16 and i had some problems with pixelation, dirty heads after 2 weeks of usage and not even a cleaning tape fixed that...as a result i have many portions of video on tape with grey horizontal bars or weird artifacts...
In the beginning i had a Panasonic camera, i recorded to a Fuji MiniDV tape which i erased and re-used it in the new Sony...could this be a cause to my "dirty heads" problem??
