Mostly I want to know what the best camcorder is for skateboarding. From research I think that I should get a flash memory camera. thoughts?
Here's what I want to be good on the camera:
⢠Overall film quality
⢠Motion (will be following skateboarding, fast action)
⢠Low light filming (skateboarding is sometimes filmed at night
I really like the look of the: panasonic hdc-tm300 but its too expensive. If I can't find a cheaper camera that meets my requirements I will wait and spend more money.
also: Canon vixia hf11?
Do you know any site that review videocameras?
I've been checking out, camcorderinfo.com and it looks pretty detailed, have you used it?
Thanks for your input

Ah man for shooting skateboarding without a doubt the Panasonic High Definition AG-HMC40 AVCHD Camcorder. This baby rocks!! It's lightweight easy to use and shoots in true HD 1920x1080. the video image is outstanding and can't be beat in my view.
The best part is with high capacity SD cards...you just drop your files when your ready to edit the video and the old way of doing video capture is left in the dust and gone extinct. Video capture on PC was a pain in the butt anyways and being able to drag and drop HD video clips from an SD card into a folder start editing is priceless and saves a ton of time..

You did say what is the best camera...
Sports photography is perhaps one of the most taxing activities for any camera system. You have fast action, long distances, sometimes coupled with low light that spells trouble for anything but the most capable systems.
If you want interchangeable lenses, you are going to want a DSLR, such as a Nikon D3s - which has perhaps the best low light performance at high ISOs, and couple that with a 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, and perhaps a fixed 400mm f/2.8. Be aware though that you are looking at $18k for this camera and the two lenses.
You need fast lenses, and anything slower than f/2.8 will not cut it.
The D3s does not take video. You have to make your mind up whether you want great photos for sports or video.
Now if you don't want the best solution, you can save some money, but make sure that you have a camera with the following:
1. DSLR is all but required as the shutter lag is minimal, as well as the intra-frame delay (which allows you to shoot in continuous mode).
2. A camera known as having good high-ISO performance. Some DSLRS simply do better than others in this regard. But this is not as much of an issue if you are shooting outdoor daytime sports, especially for slower sports (for auto racing - get the best high-ISO performance you can get).
3. The fastest zoom lens you can afford. For many, that means a 70-200mm f/2.8, but even those are in the $1k~$2k range, depending on if you go with a 3rd party or camera brand lens. While the 70-200 may sometimes be a bit short, you might be able to get closer.
If you are shooting outside daylight only, say at a slow paced game such as baseball, you might be able to get away with a 70-300mm f/4~5.6, But here, you will want something with image stabilization as unless you can bring a monopod into the game, you will be using the camera hand-held. Again, if you are shooting fast sports such as auto racing, a slow lens like the 70-300mm f/4~5.6 is going to be marginal.
Even with the less capable setup, expect to spend $2k~$3k.
