i'm going to be attending a concert in about a week. i was wondering what kind of "flip cam" is good for concerts. i was looking at the Sony Bloggie Touch and Kodak Pocket or sport touch. it need to be compact i was thinking of attaching it somehow to my shoulder or something (my hands need to be free). i want the vid to be clear not blinded by all the lights and defend by the loud music. thanks for your help.


Answer
You can consider Sony Bloggie Touch (MHS-TS20/B) - 8 GB, 2 Hours NEWEST MODEL (Black)

1920x1080 HD MP4 recording: The Bloggie Touch camera lets you record your favorite moments anytime, anywhere. Using the MP4 format, the Bloggie Touch shoots video in 1920x1080 high definition, as well as captures 12.8MP still images
12.8MP still images: Enjoy capturing clear, crisp still photos at 12.8MP resolution. The high resolution yields incredible detail while giving you the flexibility for large prints and cropping
Capacitive touch-screen LCD: The touch screen LCD utilizes an easy to use touch & slide method for searching through your videos and pictures
3.0" LCD with vertical/horizontal operation: The 3.0" touch screen LCD (measured diagonally) will rotate its orientation automatically; however you hold the camera - horizontally, vertically, left, right, even upside down
Up to 4 hours HD video: Record and store up to four hours of high-definition video footage (default setting) to the Bloggie Touch camera's 8GB of built-in flash memory

Why does the sony bloggie take a long time to load pictures?

Answer
You wait for it. Your camera hook up via USB and USB is not know as the fastest transfer protocol. And you should read the rest here it has info you could use.

Quickly, HD is a marketing term. If they told you this is a highly compressed format that is a step backward from good old MiniDv and developed because most consumers can't (or don't care to) understand the tape format and editing.

A $2000 HD camera will record 11 gigs of data per hour. Little old 720 X 480 MiniDv gets 13 gigs/hour. That is 15% More data for 1/6th the frame size.

What is even more important for you, however, is how the HD creates a crappy picture. HD relies on reference frames, as few as 2 each second. The remaining 28 frames record only a predetermined level of change, and "interpolate" (mathematically guess) the differences between frames. Disaster for action sports.

MiniDv formats are uncompressed in the brightness channel, and have low compression in the less important color channel. The little compression is "inter-frame". No frame relies on its neighbor for image data.

The end result is you can take footage from a MiniDv camera and up-convert it to 1920 x 1080 and still have a better image quality that footage shot in HD.

You can get a new Canon ZR960 for $250. You will need a few tapes and a firewire cable.

Otherwise, look at the used market. You should easily be able to find a used Z or elura series. I'd be skeptical of a GL-1 going that cheap, but you never know. I've known a lot of people that got a GL for a single trip or wedding.

Anyway, look into the format. At $200 with a HD camcorder you likely will max out at 4-5 gigs/hour, which is really shooting yourself in the foot for quality.

You would need to add about $3100 to get a clear quality advantage over standard def, MiniDv.
