WANTED - Video Camera

[Cowlinn]

I'm after a fairly good, fairly cheap Camcorder.

Preferably HD
Preferably Recording onto Memory cards of some sort.

Will consider everything, cheers. :)

[Cowlinn]

Just to add, needs to be fairly small. For those "I wish I had a camera" moments

[Tom Lovick]

Just bought one of these.

Thanks but I'm more after a dedicated Camcorder

I've got one of these (£85 from Pixmania.co.uk). It's the Kodak Playsport 1080p. The HD quality is amazing and you can put it in your beer :D

Honestly? Is this for gigs? Do not waste your money - This is for outdoor stuff.
and pays off with the marketing potential if it looks clear.

all you will get from a cheap camera is rubbish footage. Especially in low light.

I vote Canon, Sony or similar. I got mine for £100 on ebay which is a good deal and has excellent zoom.
Also great for self shooting.

Have you got any videos taken on it of a dark dancefloor?

I cant see that being best quality considering the lens size, auto focusing, zoom etc. Nice price but you get what you pay for after all.

[Charlie Brown]

:agree:

I have a version of this.

For the money, it is very good. A few of the vids on my website are shot with it - not the laser show or other lightshow, but most of the others are.

Yes, good isn't it? :D Don't underestimate it because of its price :cool:

I have just thought of something you'll need to consider when using the Playsport. The video is stored in mpeg-4 format so you need to make sure that you can either convert to wmv or edit mpeg-4.

edit: After I posted I realised that you are an Apple fan :Censored: so you won't have a problem :D :D
