Now That Sprint HTC Evo 4G Is Here, How Is It Faring

Some of its plus points are: HTC Evo 4G’s feature to connect up to eight devices at a time is something very unique. The frontfacing camera allows you to video chat. The 8-megapixel camera comes with HD-video-recording capabilities. The Evo comes with YouTube's HQ video player, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and an HDMI port. An extra-large 4.3-inch touch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor are some of its other highlights. I don't understand the mentality of complaining about a $10 add/on. Compare smartphone A and B. Now compare plans A and B. The EVO beats much of the competition in performance, features, etc. Sprint's plans, even with a $10 premium for this phone are still vastly cheaper for the equivalent option on, let's say, At&t. And of note, that $10 add-on gives you a TRUE unlimited internet usage, at a time others are not (verizon caps at 5GB on their unlimited plan

what is the best HD video camera on the market for the money?


What is your budget?

In my opinion, "crucial features" mean:

Lens system larger than 40mm diameter.
Audio-in connection(s) AND manual audio control.
Manual zoom, Manual focus, Manual Shutter speed, Manual White Balance, and other controls on the outside of the camera and easy to get to.
Least amount of compression applied to the video stream when writing to the storage media.

The starting point that meets all four criteria is the Sony HDR-FX1000, but this is only prosumer... Pro grade starts at the Sony HVR-V1U, HVR-Z1U, HVR-Z5U, HVR-Z7U, Canon XHA1 and Panasonic AG-HVX200 and JVC GY series... And they go up from here.

Is it better to get an HD video camera or a 3 CCD?


I my professional opinion, HD is only good if you are planning on doing videotaping professionally. Also in order to really benefit from all of the features of HD you have to have the right lighting and the right shooting angles and the experience to know the difference. There are plenty of 3CCD cameras that give superior results. Last month I videotaped a fashion show where I exchanged video footage with other videographers who were using HD cameras. The other guys were shocked to find out that the footage from my 3-chip camera came out clearer than what they shot with their HD cameras. With my camera you could actually see the dust particles in the air and an occasional fly. The best that I could have done with an HD camera would not have been significantly better being that the room was not very well lit.
