HD Camcorders

Still it's going to be a few years before that happens and in that time the price of blue ray players and media will drop significantly as more and more people adopt it. I think blue ray is going to have a much shorter life time than DVD has; I give it 10 years max.

 

 

I Give it 5yrs, currently 2 dollars worth of DVD's give you 25 BG $4 for 50GB

but the Blu-ray at $40...so fo 1TB that is $800 you could buy 4TB of HD's

 

Give me the drive over the cute disk, I feel I am getting far more for my money.

 

Within 5years there has to be something else, I remember someone getting upto 1TB could have been hype & there are so many stories, THEY MAY EVEN HAVE IT NOW... I aint shouting just breaking the text up)

 

But they Drip feed us the technology, so they can milk it. AS soon as this does get established Thats when they will release the new one...

 

 

THe only Good thing about the Disc is you can put your content on it and people with the player can play it, lets say it was a wedding, sure you can give it them on a BluRay disc, or a sexylittle 40 GB2.5 in laptop drive that anyone can play, no mastering to bluray compliant disc, just give em the movie

 

one things for sure Interesting times ahead......meanwhile people are starving and fuel's running out...Have a nice day!

Also, talking about capacity is redundant. As the more capacity becomes cheaper, we merely increase files sizes to up quality, which means the storage 'per job' is changing also.

As players become faster, so the filesizes can be larger/hiogher quality etc.

 

Waiting for new tech before you buy is a mugs game really. If you need something, buy it.

 

 

Your Right There!!! the more space I have the less I delete things, and if I needed Blu-Ray player for a job, I would join the que....just as long as I am not at the front of the que, and that goes for the next big thing. I havent even got a huge High Def monitor yet for that reason, It must have all the resolutions, some/most of the ones out there at the moment only have 1300 or so active pixel matrix, so great for 720 but not tru HD...But they are bamboozling many people who think they are buying the latest HD TV

After doing some searching it looks like you can get all top of the line HD equipment (camcorder, blue ray player, blue ray burner) for about $2600, the cheapest I've seen writable blue ray disks is $20. I'll definitely be getting a HD camcorder and blue ray player before the end of the year but I think I'll be waiting on the burner and media until they are a lot cheaper. Storing the video on hard drives would be easier than transferring it to blue ray, and I could always burn some small HD DVDs that have already been talked about.
