Which digital camera?




M K


I am looking to purchase a digital camera, which will be used to photograph youth sporting events and posted on our league website. I am looking to spend around $200, and I am looking for the camera to be able to take clear action shots from a relatively close range. I would also like the ability to record video as well. Reviews seem all over the place for the ones I have checked out (Nikon Coolpix, Kodak Easyshare, etc...).

Any suggestions would be of huge help!

Thank you.

When purchasing any electronic device on a budget it is important to shop around and do as much research as possible this way you ensure you get not only the best quality product but also the best price.

Personally I recommend taking a look at the following digital camera models

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W530 14.1 MP Digital Camera - http://electronicsreviews4u.com/budget-digital-cameras/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-w530-14-1-mp-digital-camera

Nikon COOLPIX L24 14 MP Digital Camera - http://electronicsreviews4u.com/budget-digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-l24-14-mp-digital-camera

If neither of these cameras meet your needs etc you might find something you like out of this selection of budget point and shoot digital camera reviews, I have also found that all reviews from this site are written in easy to understand terms and most importantly always gets straight to the important points

I hope this helps you with your purchase and good luck :)

Answer
HD camcorders interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video.
