Best camera for recording sports?




austin


I play soccer and box. I want to critique myself and Try to get better by watching myself and seeing my mistakes I make in the ring and on the field. What is a good camera under $300 that can record sports well and not get all blurry.


Answer
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.

Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras 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 and DSLR Cameras, 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 and DSLR Cameras 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 and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras 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

What camcorder is the better option for recording sport? The Panasonic NVGS85, Sony HC62E, Sony HC52? ?

I see that sony has got a 1/6" Mega Pixel CCD with Mega Pixel Engine and it says that the mega pixel engine will improve the quality.

What I need to know is will I see the difference between the 2 camcorder video quality if I just view them on a normal TV and Laptop.

Any help will be appreceiated!



Answer
They will all be about the same. The imaging chip size matters most when low-light video capture is attempted.

You did not tell us what sport or what the expected lighting is.

Learn to use the white balance feature.

All three camcorders are standard definition, miniDV tape based camcorders. All three camcorders are consumer grade and have small lenses and small imaging chips.

Buying a camcorder; need to record son's sports; need advice?




Concerned


Football, baseball, basketball as well as family stuff is what the camcorder will be used for. Want digital.
Don't understand camcorder specs-help! Want tripod too.



Answer
I highly recommend the Canon HV20. While a lot of people are getting it nowadays for the film-like images it can produce in 24p mode, it is an equally decent camcorder for taping stuff like sports. I got mine used off of eBay for $660 plus $20 shipping, and it also came with a UV filter and extra battery. Okay tripods can be had for $30, but if you want a decent one, expect to pay $70-$100. The HV20 also shoots HD, which isn't a huge deal if you don't have a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD burner/player, but if you plan on watching videos without editing, or if you plan on editing then outputting to tape (depending on the program you use), you can use the included component cable or optional HDMI cable to watch your videos in HD, assuming that you taped, captured, edited in HD and you have an HD set. Canon also makes the HV30, which is a newer version of the HV20 with a black body, ability to shoot 30p (30p has similar film-like characteristics as 24p but will look better if you're shooting sports; it's also better for uploading to Youtube), has a new LCD with larger vertical viewing angle (resists solarisation), but it costs about $880. Hope this helps!

What is the best DVD camcorder for recording school sports events ?




Jay


My sons both play basketball and I want to record their games. Am looking to buy a new DVD camcorder, and I would appreciate any input.


Answer
Leave DVD cameras alone they are, of all camcorder available today the lowest quality. there are loads of problems, with disks not finalising, or reading.

You are better off getting a flash drive camera, light simple and not effect by vibration, or knocks.

you do not give a budget so its hard to help much more, decide on the amount of money you want to spend, then look at any of the large camera makers Sony, Canon, JVC, there will be something there to fit your budget.

What is a good camcorder for recording sports like running/hurdling with little or no blur? Frames per second?

mike


I am a college track athlete who sprints and runs hurdles I really want 2 improve on my form and break down my races this year. Though I know a lot about hurdles I have no clue what 2 look for when it comes 2 camcorders. Help me please. Any suggestion is much appreciated.


Answer
High frame rate cameras or pro-grade cameras with "overcranking" capabilities are expensive - but it is possible to do.

A more cost-effective method is pretty much using any camcorder with the capability of increasing the shutter speed a lot - then using the video editor in your computer for slow-motion playback or frame-by frame playback in the computer or on the camera.

How are you expecting to position the camera, start recording and stop recording? I hope you have a "helper" do that for you.

I've recorded football games and basketball games using a shutter speed of 1/1000 second and there is very little/no blur when reviewing frame-by-frame. When the shutter speed is faster than this, the video image will darken because the shutter is not open long enough for the light to come in through the lens and get collected by the imaging chip(s).

Stay away from high compression video formats - like AVCHD. The video recorded by these hard drive, flash memory or DVD based camcorders is not so good because of the way they interpolate the information between frames. DV/HDV onto miniDV tape is most common in consumer camcorders (for standard definition, Sony DCR-HC62, Panasonic PV-GS320 - among others; Canon ZR960... for high definition, that starts at the Canon HV40). DV/HDV format - whether to miniDV tape, flash memory (Panasonic AG-HVX200 redords to DVCPRO HD; Sony HVR-Z7U) or hard disc drive (any miniDV tape based camcorder compatible with a Focus Enhancements FireStore drive) should be fine.

What is the best camcorder to buy that is 250 dollars or under?




Andrew Ber


im looking for an hd camera with good sound that i can record sports stuff with and then video edit them and put them on youtube..whats the best camera for that type of work for under 250?


Answer
your results from consumer HD cameras will be very disappointing, that is because they all use temporal compression. temporal compression works this way- the camera takes one frame, and then the next 7 are omitted. On playback, the player replaces the missing frames with interpolation. the interpolation can be quite poor for action sports. that is why all skateboarders use miniDV which has no temporal compression. the lack of compression also makes editing more precise. editing HD video is a real crap shoot as you cannot just lineup any frame.
