Get a Mini DV camera by Samsung, Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Canon, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Err... well they record onto Mini DV tapes, so it's going to be a lot better than your camera phone. One minute of uncompressed footage on Mini DV is about 210MB, that should give you an idea of quality. It's a proper camera, not a shitty digital camera phone piece of shit.Oh, and it's a video camera, so it's video only. Some have a stills camera mode but it's not as good as buying a normal digital camera.Heres how it breaks down.If you buy a video/photo all in one camera, both the video, and the photo quality will be shit.If you buy a video camera, the video quality will be good, but the photo quality will be shit.If you buy a digital camera, the photo quality will be good, but the video quality will be shit.There's no way around that. If you want to make videos, buy a video camera. If you want to take photos, buy a digital camera, if you want to do both, buy both, but don't try and do both with the same piece of equipment, it wont work.

Is it simple to get those over to the PC?Yeah. It's Mini DV so it records onto Mini DV tapes. You get it onto the PC using a firewire cable, it might come with one, but if not you need a 4pin to 6pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_P Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Doubt it very much that it'll come with a firewire cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
