blair700 0 #1 January 23, 2004 So I dropped my PC-110 on the floor last November, and it would not eject the tape. I sent it to Sony for the $269 repair, they gave me the runaround for about a month, then said they were unable to repair the camera so they would "REPLACE" it. Well today arrives a new in box PC 330. I've read a couple of threads here about the 330, but honestly don't know enough about either model to make a decision. Should I keep the 330 or sell it on Ebay and use the $$ for a new PC-120 (also from ebay)?? I mostly shoot tandem videos from the top of my flattop pro, with the occasional side mount on my Hawkeye. Thanks for your help!!! Blair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #2 January 23, 2004 I got a new in box 120 for $900 off E-bay. They are getting harder to find. You're going to get, what $14-15 hundred for the 330? $600 is a good start toward a digital rebel if you'r inclined that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blair700 0 #3 January 23, 2004 HHHmmmmm, its looking more like getting a 120 for around 1100 (yea they're getting scarce) and getting rid of the 330 for only around 1400 That only leaves me $300 towards the purchase of my S3...errr...uuuumm...I mean Digirebel Blair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jalisco 0 #4 January 23, 2004 Blair Not sure how much you can get for the 330 on ebay (it sells for as little as $1200 and small change elsewhere -- about what I got mine for). The 330 has replaced the 120 in Sony's line up, and it's probably better quality video - it has a bigger, supposedly more sensitive sensor (1/3" to the PC120's 1/4"). I figure that might give it an edge when shooting tandem video at sunset or on overcast days. The 330 has a couple of other interesting features. Its 3Mpx (!) ccd should give you really decent quality digital stills. The "Progressive Scan" mode might be useful in rare cases -- it's kind of like shooting 30 1Mpx pictures per second, useful for analyzing your jumps in slowmo or for capturing higher quality stills from your video. Also, it has an enhanced (color) low-light mode that might be useful on some jumps... Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #5 January 23, 2004 The only thing I don't like about the 330 is the touch screen menu. I really like the buttons on the 120. And an S3 is a GREAT goal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
