Start here!

If you have never picked a camcorder before, don't worry - we are here to help! It can be confusing trying to work out what you need. Simply follow the step by step guide and we will do the rest!

High Definition

High definition uses more pixels to give a crisper image. We now have cameras offering Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (five times the resolution of Standard Television).

Obviously you need an HD television to make the best of the footage and at present, the only way to keep HD footage is on your PC or by burning to disc for use in Blu-Ray and Playstation 3 units.

A great number of clients will still record in High Definition then down-convert to Standard Defintion when exporting from the camera. You get the best of both worlds - ease of watching now in SD and the original footage on HD for when players become more popular.

Standard Definition

The original format and still very popular due to its simplicity. Still delivers excellent quality and often overlooked now due to High Definition's introduction.

If you want great looking results at the most affordable price, Standard Definition is worth a look.

Discounted SLR Packages!

Yes, following requests we have put together great value SLR packages, mainly for wedding applications but valid for many other uses. Included in each is a wide angle and telephoto zoom lens, flash gun and addition compact flash gun. On average you will save at least 10% over the separate charges. Hire another back-up package and you will receive a further 5% off!!

Sony Z7E arrived

Going by the interest at the Broastcast Show, there is no doubt that this is the model that everyone wants to try. With true progressive 25p mode, new Exmor sensors, Compact Flash recording and interchangeable lenses (to mention a few of its new features), this is one very impressive HDV camcorder.
