Brianflian 0 #1 December 7, 2002 Does anyone have experience with this camera? At 12 ounces, it seems like it would be great for skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 December 7, 2002 There are lots of reviews of the MicroDV format... basically currently they all are not up to jump standerds and you can'nt export the digital footage to a computer. Buttons are on the wrong side to jump with, no LANC port, etc. A Pc101 is better by far for jumping.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #3 December 8, 2002 Run Away! I bought an IP-5 and sold it immediately. It's incompatible with the mini-DV cams (everything else), and also doesn't work with computer editing systems. For the same reasons (mpeg-2 encoding), the quality isn't as high if you start tweaking the video (slow motion, effects, etc). Two big thumbs down from me.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
