EYAB

Answer
The Epic Stealth Sports Video Cam does a good job for what you're asking and comes with mounts for a couple of different methods of deployment. It's normally around $150-200.
I remembered your question today when I saw that the discount website Camofire.com had it on sale for less than $100. I hope you catch this in time if you're interested. They put it on sale from time-to-time at this price. It also works fine as a motorcycle cam, by the way.

Any suggestions for a good video camera?

Ulises

Looking for a good video camera preferably under $250. I do side work such as record weddings, gradations, sporting events etc,,,. The camera i was using was not mine it was my roommates and he moved out. So what are some good brands and models? Thank you!!

Answer
If you want to do video, buy a camcorder, such as the Sony HDR-CX230.

If you are looking to buy a camera in your price range, you are not going to get high video performance... you will get something that will probably only record for a few minutes, and be the source of much frustration. Thing is, cameras are first and foremost designed for taking photos... video is a secondary function. And the less expensive a camera is, the poorer video performance it has.

One exception may be the Nikon P330. It does a decent job at video, but is still limited by the short time limit it can record.

What is the best camera for sporting events--say Ice Hockey?

I have a sony cybershot, which has video on it. However, when i follow players on the ice even just a little, the camera blurs for a few seconds. It looks horrible when replaying it.

Any point and shoot camera will have a very hard time tracking fast moving objects indoors. Cameras rely on bright lighting to lock the object in focus. The stadium lighting might seem bright to you but it's actually quite dim for cameras. If you want sharp images, you'll have to choose what you want, video or still images? For still images, get a DSLR, something like the Nikon D300 with a big lens, something like the Nikkor 80-200mm F2.8. Any camera/video combo will usually do an ok job for one thing but a horrible job at the other. For challenging work like indoor sport events, you need to specialize.

How many rounds can I shoot continuously through the Ruger LCR?

Q. I'm asking this question because I just watched a video where a guy had experienced flame cutting on his revolver. The frame was cracked and the cyclinder had white marks on it. I know you shouldn't fire the over pressure rounds through it alot. What should I know before I buy this gun. Should I just get it in .357mag?

Answer
It's more a question of the right tool for the right job.

You don't buy a tiny Ford Ranger to tow a 6,000lb boat a couple of hundred mile every weekend. You can, but it is going to wear the tiny little pick-up out. You buy a F-250 or F-350 designed for the job.

Similarly - you don't but a small compact pistol or revolver designed for CCW to do lots and lots of heavy shooting. You buy a full sized pistol.

The problem with watchig U-Tube and similar videos - the world has no shortage of dumb, stupid people doing things that are not correct - folks with no traing and no clue - who also own a camera.

I can't think of any sport where the less expensive light weight equipment is expected to function like professional grade. Can you? You don't see people who climb Everest or Denali outfitting at Wal*Mart, do you? You don't see the folks on Food Network buying stuff at 7-11 do you?

That some Yahoo managed to fire a lighweight compact pistol to failure is not surprising. Like everything else in the world from lumber to whiskey - it all comes in different grades. And you get what you pay for.
