Low-budget Video Camera?




Josh


I am getting into filmmaking, problem is I don't have any high quality camera. I want to improve my work, so are there any extremely cheap cameras I can use or maybe just even start with? When I say cheap, I mean no more than a few hundred bucks. Any information would be awesome, Thanks :)


Answer
Getting a HD camcorder is taking a step backward in Video Quality. 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. 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.

What is the best Waterproof HD video camera for the buck?




Scoobs


What is the best Waterproof HD camera for the buck? I am going on a cruise and am in the pool often and i am looking for an HD video camera that is waterproof. I was very interested in the Kodak Play Sport that just came out. Its is only $150. My price range is below or around $200. I already have a sony tx1 that I use for other hd videos and pictures. So this is like a secondary "fun" camera that i can be rough with especially in the water. Thanks!


Answer
Get the Panasonic TS1.

You can see the kind of video it'll take from the link below.

p/s It uses AVCHD format -- which is okay for Windows 7 or latest Mac. But not okay if you have an old pc.

Why do digital video cameras have huge zooms but photo cameras do not?

Gladiator


I have often wondered why a digital/Hard drive/flash drive/etc. video camera can sport up to a 50x optical zoom, whereas the largest digital photo camera zoom i have seen (excluding humongous, extremely expensive SLR zoom lenses) is 20x on an Olympus. Is it too hard to get a high-quality 50x zoom onto a camera, or what?


Answer
There is nothing to guess about. There are two reasons for this.

First, the sensor size. Because most video cameras, regardless of what kind, don't capture video in 6, 8 or 10 megapixels they way a still camera will, the sensor can be smaller.

When the sensor gets smaller, it's easier to get that extra zoom because of a crop factor.

Next, would be size. Along with a tiny sensor, video cameras are generally larger than digital point and shoots. With that larger and deeper size, three is room for a larger lens.

There is nothing stopping you from getting 50x from a digital point and shoot. But the sensor size might have to drop, and it might be a lower resolution, like 2 or 4 megapixels for example. Next, you'll have a huge lens to deal with.

As sensor size increases, like say in a digital SLR, there is no way to get around the fact that you need a huge lens just to match the reach of a decent compact digital zoom. So the bottom line, it's a law of physics that stops you from getting a monster zoom on a tiny camera, it's not because camera companies don't want to do it.

What kind of video camera should I buy to shoot a sporting event?




Larry


I may be hired to work as a freelance videographer for high school sporting events. The company wants me to use my own equipment to shoot the games, which I am in the process of getting. They recommend I have an HD Prosumer camera. I've done some research, and I saw the Canon VIXIA HF G10 was pretty good and not overly priced. Does anyone have any recommendations about what other types of video cameras I can buy or give any more input about this camera I've look into? Also, is it best to get a camera that has the viewfinder on the side of the camera or on top of it?


Answer
For sports/fast action, generally something that does not do high compression AVCHD. Like a Sony HDR-FX7. Of course, this assumes your computer has a firewire port. If it does not and you are not willing to add one, then the Canon HF G series is decent.

You will also want a tripod (it can double as a monopod is you only extend one leg). You really should not capture video handheld. And your computer may need upgrading (CPU, RAM, fast external hard drive, video editor) to deal with the AVCHD compressed video.

If you are capturing on a bright sunny day, the LCD panel can be difficult to see - so the eyepiece viewfinder is much more useful.

An optional high capacity battery from the camcorder manufacturer is a good idea.

A shoulder-mount rig may be helpful, too.

If someone runs into you and breaks the camera, who pays to fix it?

Good luck.
