Mini DV camera comprasion (808 HDTV #11, 808 #8 and MD-80)
This is comprasion of 3 micro video camcorders - MD-80, 808 keychain camera version #8 (by Chuck Lohr's classification) and 808 HDTV keychain camera version #11. I mixed them in one movie so you can easily compare video and audio quality. Conclusions: MD-80 has the slowest reaction between all of them. Indoor video of MD-80 is a nightmare! But details a bit better than 808 #8. The microphone is the way to sensitive and distort loud peaks. 808 #8 is the cheapest cam here. It costs about 10$. Not so slow as MD-80, but video is soft and has some blur. The microphone is deaf. 808 HDTV #11 is my favorite. Hight resolution 1280х720 30 fps video, detailisation is ok, good sound quality and it works good even in night conditions. Just one bad thing - this camera isn't quite accurate with white balance sometimes. Check out Chuck Lohr's web page for more information about this mini cams (great site, really): http://www.chucklohr.com/808 And be free to visit my RC blog here: http://heliblog.ru ps. There is newest version of 808 HDTV camera now - version #16. I guess it's even better than my #11, but beware of fake models!
