Help.Looking for a new HD/ mini DV camera that will work with FCP ExpressHD

I just bought a imac with final cut express HD and am looking to buy a new HD/mini DV camera for under $900.00 that i will have no problems with my mac.I was looking at the Sony-HDR-HC3 HD mini which i found for $700.00 and that seemed pretty good.Does any one have any suggestions??I would greatly appreciate it.

When you say no problems with your Mac are you aware of the workflow difficulties editing HDV? e.g monitoring via external HD monitor is an expensive option, burning HD DVD's similarly so.
However this cam has an HDMI out to enable you to connect to your HDTV to view your recorded content, so if you can live with monitoring through your computer for editing, this is a decent camera for the $$'s.
A friend of mine has a Sony DCR-HC96 and is pleased with the larg(ish) single CCD, giving improved low light capabilities over other domestic miniDV camcorders.
At around $500, it is a miniDV alternative worthy of consideration, if more suitable for your budget without the HDV editing headaches.
It depends whether you really need/want HDV rather than SD and what your final output requirements are.
Good Luck, Dave

  • I need to install Internet Explorer on my iMac G5 (OSX vs 10.4.11). Is there a secure source for downloading an older version of IE that will work with my system?

    I'm not sure I properly asked my question. I have a need to post a resume to an employer who requires that the information be submitted via Internet Explorer. My OSX vs 10.4.11 will not accept downloads of the current IE version and Microsoft no longer supports any earlier versions that would work with my Mac. A web search shows thousands of download possibilties, but I am leery of what kind of schmutz might come with them. Has anyone in the community have any recent experience with a secure Internet Explorer download

    Probably best to go to a library and submit your resume there.
    You can make many web browsers claim to be ie.  Here is how.

  • Looking for shelf system that will work with 5th gen 8g Nano?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a shelf stereo system with integrated iPod dock that will work with my 5th gen 8 gig Nano that I received as a gift. I've been researching this and have a found a few candidates such as the JVC UX-GN8 or UX-LP5, or the SONY CMT-BX20i. But... have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model. Anyone have one of those units, or something similar, that works? Also, is it true that the Apple Cradle ($49.99+cable) has some problems docking the 5th generation Nano in the sense that all the features are not accessible (audio, video, etc.)? Thanks for any and all responses.

    have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model.
    If their websites do not specifically state that their product works with the *iPod Nano 5th Generation _with video,*_ its more likely their product is not compatible. You can try calling them if possible to confirm.
    Have you checked MacMall's website?

  • Need suggestions for photo printer that will work with a dedicated HP G4050 scanner on Windows 7

    I was told by HP Tech Support that they didn't recommend I try to run an all-in-one printer and a dedicated scanner on the same PC.  Dilemma is that most photo printers sold today are also all-in-ones.   Also, many all-in-ones don't seem to rate very high on photo quality.   Do I end up buying two printers - one for text and another for photos or what?  
    Your input is welcome as I've researched this problem for a long time and don't know what printer to buy!  Thank you. 

    Yes, I do know that; but the basic driver doesn't allow all of the menu options on the printer to work.  For instance, it won't tell me how much ink is left in each cartridge, etc.
    I'm debating whether to just keep my old Photosmart 8150 and keep plugging along until it dies and then worry about replacing it OR keep looking for a new one.
    Problem is that HP Tech Support told me that they DON'T recommend I use an all-in-one printer AND a dedicated scanner together due to possible software issues.  Since most of the photo printers made this year seem to be AIO's it's been a very difficult experience finding an older printer that has a Full Solution Driver in WIN 7 and/or 8!  Oh, you can find some but they cost an arm and a leg even at used prices!  
    Anyone with experience using an HP dedicated scanner AND a printer is welcome to jump in and give me some feedback. Thank you so much!  : )

  • Cases that will work with Accessory Docks for Bionic

    I am looking for a case that will protect my Bionic and also work with the car and home docks.  Does anyone know what cases will work and still protect the phone well?  I really want the otterbox commuter series, but I doubt that will work with the docks.
    Any help is appreciated

    If motorola follow the pattern they did with the Droid X and X2 you may nor see a case that will work with the dock because the dock wasnt made to accept a case while using it...  I know its crazy but universal docks from Walmart or Best Buy is the only way to make this possible.

  • Is there a new adapter that will work with iphone 4s to hdmi with ios 8 update

    Hi just wondering if there is an adapter out there that will work with the new IOS 8 update -- iphone 4s to HDMI.  Ever since I updated mine will not work.  Same thing for the iPad mini.  I want to purchase my daughters the iPad Mini for Christmas but will not unless there is an adapter capable of doing this.

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • Will Safari 5.1.10 work for all versions of 10.6 or just version 10.6.8? If it requires 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Sarari that will work with 10.6.6?

    Will Safari 5.1.10 work with all versions 10.6 or does it require 10.6.8? If it does require 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Safari that will work with 10.6.6?
    Thanks
    Eric

    This Mac currently has Safari 5.0.4. Software Update shows a newer version of iTunes and of course the combo updater to 10.6.8 but nothing else. I imagine the 10.6.8 updater contains a later version of Safari but I don't now which version it is and whether it is backward compatible with older versions of 10.6. There are a number of newer versions of Safari: 5.0.5. 5.0.6, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, . . . 5.1.10 to name a few but would any of them work with 10.6.6? In a similar thread a guy asked a similar question to mine: he had 10.6.6 and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari. He tried installing various versions but was rejected each time. He finally asked if there was any newer version of Safari that would install on 101.6.6 - but he never got an answer.
    Software Update displayed a newer iTunes but no mention of Safari. I wonder if this indicates that the 5.0.4 Safari that I have is the latest version there is for 10.6.6. Anybodyknow for sure?
    TIA

  • Is there any printers (preferably new) that will work with OS9?

    Is there any printers (preferably new) that will work with OS9?

    Sorry about above 'pre' font - for some reason it would not let me do a normal post. It should have been as follows:
    I agree.
    I use a LaserWriter 16/600 PS plugged into my router via an adaptor.
    There are probably many old Color StyleWriters out there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StyleWriter
    Some of these had Canon engines and Canon produced their own almost identical versions.

  • Is there a newer version than 3.6.25 that will work with windows 7 and 16 bit?

    Hi I am using firefox 3.6.25 version it works fine but certain wesites are not supporting this version anymore they want me to upgrarde to a newer version but I can't. Everytime I use any other version of firefox I get an error from Sendoria saying that the website has been blocked or that there is an error in the way I typed the website address in. I need a stable webbrowser that will work with a 16 bit window 7 machine. The websites are as follows
    1. Tube8.com
    2. usajobs.gov
    3. The other website which is my homepage for email is Verizon.net they do not support the 3.6.25 version anymore and I want to be able to make the companies that I subscribe to happy.

    No, 3.6.3 is an older version. 3.6.11 was just released on Monday.

  • Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  How can I find it?

    Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  Where can I find it, and what file is it?  (Yes, it's an old Distiller that came with Acrobat 5.  So shoot me.  But I do need the driver.)
    Win 7 prompted me for an *.inf file.  Any idea?
    If I find the original Acrobat 5 CD, which .inf would it be?
    (Hey, since I'm asking, also a driver that will work on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.)
    Thanks.

    There is no .inf file on the Acrobat 5 CD that you can use to create a “driver.” If Distiller 5 even installs and runs on Windows 7 x64, the plumbing that came with Acrobat 5 to automatically feed PostScript files created by the PostScript driver to Distiller simply won't work with modern versions of Windows or any 64-bit version of Windows.
    FWIW, Acrobat 5 is five full versions back from the current version. And no, we won't shoot you; you are effectively doing that to yourself!  Your time must be worth something?!?!

  • I have an old MAC using OS 10.5 (does not have Intel processor). I need a new printer, but i cannot find one that will work with such an old operating system. Is there a new printer that will work with this old system?

    I have an old IMAC using 10.5, and it cannot use any newer operating system. I need a new printer, but I cannot find one that is compatible with this old system.
    Is there a new printer out there that will work with 10.5?

    Canon Pixma iP4950 works great with my PPC G5 iMac on Leopard. Maybe other of their models do as well.

  • Looking for a WiFi printer that will work with my Nexus WiFi hotspot

    On a recommendation, we have bought an Epson NX530 WiFi-enabled printer.  It does not work with the WiFi hotspot feature of my Galaxy Nexus.  The support tech at Epson suggested that we get a WiFi router rather than trying to use the Galaxy Nexus.  I told her that I would rather trash the NX530 and get a printer that would work with my phone.
    So we have 3 questions:
    1) does anyone know how to make an Epson NX530 work via the Galaxy Nexus hotspot?
    2) does anyone know of a different WiFi enabled printer that works with the Galaxy Nexus?
    3) does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus is inherently unable to work with any WiFi printer?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    This website should be able to assist you.  http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/8520-wifi-printing.html   I use an app called Printhand from the Google Play Store for my Android tablet and smart phones. I have a Canon  Pixima 3220 that functions great. I also have a higher end HP Envy D410a that also works great with printhand.  The Canon is cheap at BJ's at $40 when I bought it. The HP is about $269 at Staples and other outlets.  Good Luck
