Camcorders Shop
So many choices for camcorders these days?? I’m lost! What should I buy?? Here is what I would like—HELP!
Just found out a couple days ago that my wife and I are going to be having our first child, and I’d like to buy a nice video camera to record everything. I don’t want to break the bank…I’ve seen camera’s costing into the $1000′s! Yikes! I don’t need one that nice…but as I shop, I see plenty of cheapies…but you also get what you pay for. I get lost in all of these different kinds of cameras….HD, mini-disc, dvd, hard drive. What to buy??
One other thing in MiniDV’s favour – it’s cheap! Once mini-DVD and hard drive camcorders came along MiniDV wasn’t seen as being sexy and the price dropped.
Bill said IF you have firewire (my emphasis) – if you haven’t, it’s cheap and easy to install a firewire card.
I’ll reiterate the “Don’t buy a DVD based camcorder” message – they take a few seconds to get up to speed before you can start recording – that’s a real pain when you’re trying to capture the moment with a young child. In similar vein, if you want to capture the moment you have to be able to use the camcorder fairly instinctively – make sure you physically try any camcorder before you buy it.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about why you’d want to edit your video. It’s not just about adding titles, music (good things) and fancy transitions (bad thing!) it’s also about getting rid of the huge amount of rubbish that gets recorded and selecting the few moments that capture the story you’re trying to tell. Please forgive me if that sounds poncy and pretentious, but the idea is to end up with something that you, your family and friends will enjoy watching – watching unedited video is better than root canal work only because it’s cheaper!
