Any suggestions on a picture camera that captures great HD video?

best 60 fps camcorder image

xfilerman7

I have seen some that capture 720p at 60 fps. I assume this will look great in an HD tv, but are there any that capture true HD, 1080i at 30 or 60 fps? Appreciate any info.

Answer
There are digital compact to high zoom cameras now available that can record video in HD (1280x720 @ 30fps) or FULL HD (1920x1080) @ 30fps. They also allow HDMI connection to a HD TV.

One (still image) camera that records in Full HD (and stereo audio) is Canon's SX1 IS (10MP, 20x optical zoom). Video file sizes at this resolution are big (approx. 1GB per 3 minutes of video).

If you want the ability to record in Full HD and also 5.1 channel surround sound, you will need to look at a Full HD camcorder, instead.

What kind of memory amount do you recommend for HD video?

I am going to be purchasing an High Definition video recorder of some sort soon, and I was wondering what type of memory capacity I should get. It will be on a memory card of some kind like a microSD or similar.

So lets say you have 1 hour of 720p video at 30 fps, how much memory would that take?

What about 60 fps?

Answer
I would consider Sony HDR-CX110 High Definition Handycam Camcorder
* 1920x1080 Full HD Recording w/3MP still image
* Memory Stick PRO Duo media slot
* 1/4" back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor
* 1080/60p playback via HDMI and compatible HDTV
* 30mm CZ Vario Sonnar T* with 25x Optical zoom
