I have a Panasoinc Pv-Gs150, I want to upgrade to a Sony HDR-HC1 HDV. What I need to know... will this camera be ok to record at High speed. I want to put in a few slow motion effects in my film...and I know you need a camera that can record at high speed. So if this is not the right camera, can you point me to the right one. I only can spend about 1,000-1,500 on the camera. Thanks for any help you can give.
Slow motion is created by shooting at a higher frames-per-second (FPS) than normal. The HDR-HC1 doesn't offer adjustable frame rates. Very few video cameras do. Slow motion is done with the editing software. You can do slow motion right now with your GS-150.

Hey I think I found one...it might not do what we call true slow motion but it still could work. Thanks for you help.
Here is where I found it. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-HDR-HC3-Camcorder-Review.htm
Smooth Slow Record - Smooth Slow Record is a new feature on some Sony camcorders that enables HDR-HC3 to shoot three seconds of footage at a rate of 240 fields per second. This feature can be found in the administrative menu within the Pict. Appli. Menu. Once captured, the three second clip is converted into a twelve second file for playback, and is evidently great for golf swings, bar fights, and other fast moving situations

That's essentially what the editing software does. But this does it in camera. If that's important to you, then it looks like you found the right camera for your needs.

One thing to remember, when you do things like slow-motion in the camera you lose the option to undo it easily.

You are right...I should think about this some more.
someone noted that doing it in slow-mo makes it so you can't undo it as easily... how true... and on tapes it's hard anyways...
what i do is i just say (right before the preformace) ie: Scene 6, shot 9, take 4
or something, and keep the other takes so in case i decide to use one of them instead... or if i want a blooper reel... or a making-of reel...
only bad thing about that is, it takes up more tapes... 🙁
