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

Best digital camera for sport photos and video footage?

Noxx

I'm taking pictures and videoing horses for my own personal use. They're always moving so I need a camera with the ability to take clear moving shots. But I also need one to take 720p or 1080p video footage. I'm not looking for professional photographer quality, just something nice enough to compliment myself and my equines on today's social networking sites.

I was thinking about the Sony DSCW650 or Fujifilm JZ100, but neither seem to be able to tackle what I'm looking for. I'm looking to stay under $100 but if I find the PERFECT digital camera I'd be willing to spend up to $200. Like I said this isn't for professional photos, but my own enjoyment. Thank you very much (:

Answer
A key requirement of any camera for taking moving objects is shutter lag - how long is the time between pressing the button and camera capturing the image. On cheap cameras you press the shutter and the camera thinks for a second or so before taking the shot. In that time the horse has moved out of the "perfect" pose you thought you had.

As a minimum you need to be looking at a bridge camera - Fuji make excellent bridge cameras.

Something like this:

or with a higher budget
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix-HS30EXR-EXR-CMOS-Tiltable/dp/B006Q8VA2W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383827635&sr=8-1&keywords=fuji+bridge

What is the best durable video camera for sports under 500$?

Jason

I ski, play lacrosse, skateboard, and mountain bike. I already own a gopro and that is great for first person but I need something that someone else can use to film me. Price isn't really that much of an issue but i don't want to drop 1000 bucks on something that will likely get damaged while filming.

Answer
HD Camcorders, that being any Camcorder that does not use MiniDV tape for Video Storage 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.

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.

DSLR Cameras, all Makes, all Models, all have the same problem when video taping some long videos, all overheat at the 13 to 18 minute mark, depending on the Make and Model. This is unavoidable, it all has to with the fact, video is an afterthought in DSLR camera production.

whats a good/mid range surfing (action sports) video camera?

jordy

preferrably below $1000 aus but up to $1500. it needs to have good zoom to get to the action thats possibly 50m+ away. fast fps and reasonable quality.
any ideas.

also if you have any knowledge of the topic whats some good vid cams for in-water shots (clearly need to be waterproof)?

thankyou

Answer
Waterproof cameras are not going to do what you want, nor have the quality, water proofing a camera is not difficult but can be expensive, you not only have to think about water , but also salt water, this is the kiss of death to electronic devices, and another thing sand, taking video on a beach where its going to be windy, if sand can get in it will.

You are better off getting a waterproof housing, they come in basically two flavours, the first being like a ziplock bag with a place for the lens at one end from about $120usd, the second is a hard casing, made from either plastic or metal, normally used for scuba diving from a few hundred to thousands. . if you are not going to be taking the camera scuba diving, (or to any great depth) then the ziplock bag will probably be good enough, but you are also going to have to attach a tripod to the camera, as there is no way in this world that you will be able to hold the camera steady enough.

So basicall you can use any camcorder and get a bag to fit it.

I would be looking at a flash drive camera, takes better video then HDD cameras, (not by a huge amount) ignore the digital zoom only look for optical zoom, the more zoom you use the more steady you have to be and a better tripod you will need. Battery life is better.

I would assume that audio will not be important to you, as beaches will give a huge amount of wind noise, making the audio unuseable, if it is important then an external mic would be help ful with a wind cover, over it, but you may have problems fitting it with a case.

As for makes and models, the main ones are best Canon, Sony, JVC, maybe talk to others who do the same thing, and see what they use,
