Hey everyone, so I am in the market for a high quality camcorder. I know 1080p is 1080p, but most people know every camera is different, some 1080p will be much better than others. I want to know which camcorder is best for filming 1080p, and moving motion. I really like having bright, colorful lighting as well. I'm also on a $300 limit. Thanks for the input.

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. Consumer level HD camcorders interpolate the video. This means they take one frame, make up the next 4 or 5 frames, take a frame and repeat this, over and over, for the remainder of the video, every video it takes is like this.With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

I use My MiniDV tape camcorder to shoot my vlogg, then use my NLE to edit and add titles and such. I then have my NLE make a HD 1080P file upload to YouTube. See the results here. All videos on this page are shot using one of 3 MiniDV tape Camcorders. More details in the description of each video. http://youtu.be/-_3-Sw5r4nU

Camcorder for recording tennis?
Tony
Hi. I need a recommendation for a good camcorder for recording me and my friends playing Tennis. I need 60fps 720 minimum. And durability will come in handy since if it's on a tripod, we might knock it over during a point. Also a good mic recommendation for outside windy days. Thanks for any help. :)

Your on a tennis court, the only Microphone that would cover the whole court would be a a Parabolic Microphone, the one you see sound men for Football games wandering around with. Then someone to hold it and direct, Also, no Camcorder has that big of a field of vision that it could cover both ends of a tennis court at once, so someone is needed to operate the Camcorder also.
HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras 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 port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.

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
