Anyone know anything about HD Camcorders, or can recommend a good web page to give myself a crash course? I'm thinking about picking one up tonight, I'm hoping sub-$500 range if possible, but will stretch my budget if that is not going to get me a good camera.
Is there currently a great bang-for-the-buck HD camcorder out right now that I should just swing by Fry's to pick up and be done with it?
Uses are going to be mostly video taping the puppy, but I may also put a protective filter on it and mount it to the SV for some fun/casual videos, and maybe video documenting some projects and the like.
I've not had a camcorder in 10 years, so I really know nothing about the current state of the art.
I don't know much about them either. I dropped a couple hundo more on a semi-decent one at the time. In good lighting, the picture is great! But in low lighting, the picture is sub-par. I thought I was getting a great camcorder, but it's a decent one at best.
Yeah, I saw those flip models, which might be fine for quick and dirty 720p video, but I want a full 1080p if I'm dropping the cash on a good camcorder. From what I'm reading so far (just started cramming reviews over the past 30 minutes), 2009 is a huge year for HD cameras, and all the brands have come out with some stellar models. I just need to find one I'm not going to regret 6 months from now, without dropping $1500 on a camera that will be worth $500 this time next year! LOl
I'd get a dvd quality recorder. What are you going to save hd video off to for playback? Bluray blank disks? $$$$$$ I'd wait till media was cheaper, but that's just me.
Good advice thanks. So the HD video can't be converted to something you can burn to a DVD? Or can't you put it on a thumb drive and send them or give them that? Every one in my family has a PC.
