But it took so long to upload and even longer for the conversion before it appeared in Vimeo for download. The most frustrating part was that I had to try uploading several times when the process hanged. I suppose that is because it is a free account and it would be faster (at least for the conversion) if it was a paid account. So there is a price for everything.
Some notes on the video. It was shot in 1920x1080, 30p; totally hand-held and no processing apart from simple cuts and joints. I uploaded it directly into Vimeo so I do not know if the Vimeo conversion has any effect on the video quality. Comments are welcomed.
Happy viewing.

Hi ronald
ReplyDeleteThe picture qauality look very good.
there is a jitter every few seconds. is this on the original video or just on vimeo?
Anyway, the sites look amazing. you made me want to take a tour there
Hi Kobi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for viewing. I'm not too sure about the jitters whether it's Vimeo or unsteady hands. I'll upload another video later to see. Turkey is definitely worth a visit where East meets West literally. Apart from the historical aspects, the natural scenery is also appealling. You can see more in my travel Blog.
Very good presentation! It was what I needed to know before buying, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Be aware of the HD2000 weaknesses and you will not be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHi Ronald
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for the tonnes of info provided. I am impressed by the video quality of your camcorder and I am about to buy the same. Two questions:
1) Given the IS is not great, have you tried turning this off? I have seen a smooth video from someone who claimed not to use this option but to simply hold the camera with 2 hands. In all honesty by looking at some of your videos it is as if the digital camera is trying hard to keep the frame steady which is good if you want to focus in and out on the same subject but not great if you move quickly from one object to the other.
2) Is it possible to record a video with the camcorder attached to its docking station? This would be handy when there is a flat support nearby.

Hi Fabio,
ReplyDeleteI have not tried with the IS turned off. Actually with a steady hand and minimal zoom, it is not too bad but of course, OIS is better. The auto focus can be at times slow. Just be aware of its limitations and you will not be disappointed. It is good value for the price.
Yes, it is possible to record with the camcorder attached to the docking station, even with the AC power on.
BTW, nice photos on your Flickr page. Cheers.
Ronald,
ReplyDeletewhen you say that the autofocus is slow do you refer to movies or photos taken in the evening or anytime?
Thanks a lot

Ronald,
ReplyDeletehave a look at this video for image stabilisation with the Sanyo HD2000: http://vimeo.com/1469722
this guy is great and knows plenty of tricks!

Hi fabio, thanks for the vimeo link. I normally takes only video and the autofocus is noticeably slow in low light; I think they call this focus hunting. Best if you can try the camcorder yourself locally.
ReplyDeleteRonald,
ReplyDeleteFollowing to several reviews and consumer opinions (including yours), I have decided to take my chances and buy one Sanyo HD2000. The price was good and I hope I won't be disappointed.
Thanks for your help, I will let you know once I put my hands on the camcorder,
Fabio
Hi Fabio, The HD2000 may not be the best camcorder out there and it has its quirks but it is good value for money. Do share your opinion about the HD2000, good or bad. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteRonald,
ReplyDeleteI have written a review to go on www.amazon.co.uk and I wanted to copy a link to your page. Are you happy with it?
I cannot exclude that you might be asked lots of questions.
Happy new year
Fabio
Hi fabio, please go ahead but I'm not sure if I'll be able to answer all the questions, if any. Hope you're having fun with the Sanyo. Happy New Year!
