Comparison of portable video recorders for on-board use: Lyra versus Archos
21 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Archos recorder was considered the better choice for on-board recording compared to the Lyra.
- A larger 7-inch Archos model was available as a newer option for portable video recording.
- Using the Lyra for a production resulted in a difficult experience.
Depends on
- The comparison is from 2005 and concerns outdated equipment models.
- No specific technical details were provided about what made the Lyra problematic or why the Archos was preferred.
- The recommendation was based on limited direct experience and references to archived discussions rather than comprehensive testing.
