ATTN: Aaron / Carina RE: HD Video Cameras[views:2208][posts:13]__________________________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 11:39pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] What's a good one that's fairly inexpensive? Caroline and I are looking to spend $200 on a decent HD video camera or a really good regular camera that takes video too. Thoughts? [img] |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 27,2008 12:39am - the_reverend ""] $200 for video = poop. |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 12:47am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] granted, but what will be the best bang for my buck? |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 12:48am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Or what features should I look for? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 12:59am - sxealex ""] battery |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 1:02am - the_reverend ""] what do you want to do with the camera? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 7:41am - grizloch ""] [Dec 27,2008 12:39am - the_reverend] $200 for video = poop. when I was in the market last year there was no way you could buy an HD for less than $600 |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:00am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Just shoot video footage. Doesn't have to be the best. We want HD because then it's one less feature to consider in an upgrade down the road. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:06am - the_reverend ""] do you want to shoot 10 minute clips? 1 1/2 clips? what medium do you want to record to? how many lux do you want the thing rated for, etc... |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:08am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] What's a lux? I guess we're looking at 10 minute clips? I don't know much about these cameras, it just seems there's a ton out there ranging from $119 to over $1000. We'd like to be able to take still photos on it and I think we're looking for some kind of zooming. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:11am - the_reverend ""] if you didn't care about zooming there is a flip/youtube HD camera that carina has that is pretty sweet (she has the non-HD version) and it's meant to go right to youtube. |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:48am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] That Flip one is awesome, I've been using my sister's. I need something slightly more complex, though. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 11:57am - sxealex ""] 200 is more like a decent digital camera budget. look for out of box at best buy now is a good time. |
| __________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2008 12:25pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] What's the deal with video on a digital camera? I know some of them do it. |
