Best digital video camera for recording music?

Hey guys I'm a singer and want to record my performances what camera has really high quality audio and picture not super expensive would be great thank you :)


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 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 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.

How do I record a video of me looking in the mirror without seeing the camcorder in the mirror?

I'm trying to record a music video, and there's going to be a shot where I'm looking in the mirror. How do I do this without the mirror reflecting the camcorder where I would see it in the shot?


Answer
With the camera perpendicular and very close to the mirror and you very close to the mirror, you can get both images but not much reflected mirror background...

What camcorders are comparable to the Panasonic AG-HMC40, and how do they stack up?




pyrosarco


I am looking to purchase a Panasonic AG-HMC40 camcorder and was wondering how people felt about them and what was comparable, but still solid state recording in the 1800 dollar price range give or take 200 dollars.

I like the idea of solid state because I do not enjoy using DV tape. Unless someone could talk me out of it.

I would be using the camera to record documentaries, music videos, shorts, etc. at a college/semi professional level.



Answer
If the AG-HMC40 did not use AVCHD compression to create MTS files it would be a fine camcorder because everything else about it is quite good.

Because of the AVCHD piece, I would much prefer the HDR-FX7 (plus an XLR adapter) DV/HDV to miniDV tape. But that also means your computer has to have a firewire port. If it does not - and one cannot be added, then flash memory is your only other option - so the AG-HMC40 is about it.

Your computer needs a LOT of RAM, a really fast CPU. AVCHD is more of a pig than HDV is. Take a look at what the bigger dogs use - and I will even limit the list to flash memory camcorders:
Panasonic AG-HVX200
Sony HVR-Z7
JVC GY-HM100
Red Scarlet and Red One
Silicon Imaging

No AVCHD.

Now let's add in the others:
Sony HVR-Z1, HVR-Z5
Canon XH series; XLH series
Sony XDCAM and HDCAM series

No AVCHD - all digital tape.

How are you planning to archive the video - as in, what if you want the original video in 5 or 10 years or more? MiniDV tape is the archive when the tape is not reused. But again, if your computer can't handle firewire, then flash memory is the only other viable option. Then the follow up question is, can your video editor handle the MTS files?

I like the idea of solid state, too - especially from the power consumption standpoint, but the post production process flow is immature and not yet ready for prime time.

How much sound quality is lost with camcorder formats that result in greater compression?

yet-knish!


I want to buy a camcorder to record myself playing music and am deciding on format. I understand that videos made with HDD and flash memory camcorders will have greater compression--how much will this affect the sound?


Answer
the audio on miniDV is uncompressed 48k, 16 bit sampled digital sound. If you get a camcorder that allows exernal mics you can achieve truly professional results. Typical DVD audio compression is 7:1 MPEG3 which is reasonably good. I believe HDD and flash is higher compression, but i don't have a number for you.

What camcorder can record high quality videos like this one?

What camcorder that is under $1000 can record high quality videos like this one?

i want to make music videos with clear videos like that one but i dont know what camera to get. Also, was that video edited? if so, in what program?

Thanks!



Answer
Okay, Im pretty happy first of all because...MEGAN AND LIZ!

Now onto the question. For the sound quality of this video, it was pre recorded so you probably wouldn't be able to get that from a camcorder. Second of all, they do edit their videos. And third or all, Im not sure (though I assume) that they already work in studios, so their equipment probably (key word, probably) costs more than 1 grand. :) Hope i helped.
