Chris_K 0 #1 January 23, 2009 Title says it all: Is there an equivilant for the Hypeye D Pro for non D shaped A/V ports? I generally dont like to fly sony due to the proprietary issues that they have and am looking for any equivilant to the hypeye. Non LANC. Currently have a few HD camcorders that work really well, the only issue is the visual confirmation that the camera is on.Downsizing is not the way to prove your manhood.

DSE 3 #3 January 23, 2009 Monkey gave you the only option available. Unless you want to use an IR remote, and you'll still need the mirror... What "proprietary issues?" I keep hearing about "Proprietary Sony issues" in various places (including here). There is nothing proprietary about OIS/EIS, and aside from the AV port shape...everything on a Sony camcorder is as standard as it gets. Canon, on the other hand, does have a proprietary header file and 24p mechanism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PharmerPhil 0 #4 January 23, 2009 If you go to Paragear's Camera Accesories page, and scroll almost to the bottom, there is a SKYLITE VIDEO RECORDING INDICATOR. It is a battery-powered, self contained record indicator that should work with any camera that has a tally (i.e. record indicator) light. Used to see them a lot.

billvon 2,421 #7 January 23, 2009 >Memory sticks are another. I don't know if they have advantages, but I'd prefer SD cards... Memory stick sizes go to 2 terabytes. SD only goes to 2 gigabytes; a newer format (SD HC) goes to 2TB as well. Leads to compatibility problems. Things seem to be converging to MS and SD. The Canon XS/XSi have moved from CF to SD, and many laptop computers are going to a single SD or MS reader instead of the older four-format slots.
