Video camera is very much - it is enough to go into any photo and video equipment shop completely, so that the eyes literally run away in different directions. And the range of serious stores is so great that you can lose a few hours just by looking through all the available offers.

However, even a beginner knows that there are several types of cameras. Some are designed specifically for beginners, others are semi-professional equipment, but only the real masters can use the third one. The difference between them is, in fact, enormous. For example, here this store will be able to show all the advantages of professional models.

Now, in fact:.

The image quality of households is in the range of 450 - 470 lines, for professional ones - from 500 and above;.

One lens of the pro-camera costs from 1,000 to 25,000 dollars (this is without electronic stuffing);.

To process the image of the pro-model, optical filters and electronic DSPs are used, which must be manually adjusted to eliminate light defects. Household do not use filters at all;.

Pro-cameras take well and sound (it is balanced, there is a manual recording setting and t. ), the sound recording technology of household cameras distorts it. If the sound level goes away from the norm planned by the developer (a little louder or a little quieter, and that's all);.

At the beginning of the tape, the pro-cameras record color strips and a 1kHz audio signal, which is necessary for easier editing (you can set the time code and t. In the home chambers there is no such function;.

In pro-cameras there is no automatic adjustment (neither autofocus, nor the mode of individual pictures, nothing) - everything needs to be done manually. In home cameras, only automation is used (manual settings will not really affect anything);.

The pro-camera is much stronger than the home camera, although much heavier (6 kg is the minimum).

What to choose? If you are going to shoot an amateur film "Camping" - and a digital camera with video recording function. But if you are going to earn on shooting - start to master professional models.
