The Hitcher Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Indeedy try google. just look for video camera reviews there foookin hundred of them. Ive even done the work for you!!! Nowadays (wow i sound old) most digital cameras have decent video, so why not get a digi cam instead, pictures and video then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 It actually helps more when people on here can honestly say positive things rather than reading 'yeah this camera was good as i used it on holiday' from videocamreview.comIt also makes a good read which i was looking for.*sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd91 Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i was actually wondering which ones you guys use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitcher Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 At the mo im using a olympus digi cam, which does ok video, but wont record for long. Ive used my girlfriends nikon digi cam, which is pretty good, not sure how much it was, bout 200 odd quid thou. Also ive used a fuji s7000 digi cam/slr which does pretty dam nice video, get one for bout 100 ish quid on ebay, check out ebay for video cams thou, proberly alot cheaper than buying new.

Boswell Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 There are a few 5 megapixel phone cameras out there at the moment, why not get one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogun_gimp Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 There are a few 5 megapixel phone cameras out there at the moment, why not get one of them?

zoonick Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i use a panasonic lumix DMC-tz1. it's absolutly amazing. i use it for trials, cross country and a bit of downhill. A lot of my mates also use them. there cheap and i think are one of the best cameras around. i got mine for £150 of purelygadets. they are however £300 in the shop so i suggest you buy one on-line. they are 5 mega pixel and have 10 optical zoom they are absolutly amazing buy one.

DeeperThanBlack Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If you go on Google and click on the little tab called "products" and type in the camcorder you want it will find the cheapest one for you... If that doesn't work use Kelcoo. I don't know if this was any help, or if I've been pointing out the obvoius... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza-Trials Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 why not have a look in currys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 There is a big difference between a Camera for stills and a camera for videos.Im currently using a JVC Everio G cam corder. recording in Ultra fine mode i get about 4 and a half hours video footage on the inbuilt hard drive(no tapes/dvd's) and the video quality is pretty darn good. Altho this camera cost about £400.... so thats not much help.... but it may be great for video's it is a bit wank for normal pics, unfortunately.Best kinda place to go is somewhere like Jessops, they should have someone that can talk you through a camera in your price range, for either stills or video.

DeeperThanBlack Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Another idea is to just get a normal single-shot camera, with a video camera option built in. If you get a good deal they can be a couple of hundred pounds cheaper but have just as good quality, but don't have a sound recorder. It depends what you want it for- If you want to make a bike video, it is most likely that you are going to put background music when you edit it. Whats the point of sound when all you pick up is the clinking of your chain and a couple of laughs from one of your mates when you pull a faceplant?If this camcorder is for other general use then you probably want some sound. Don't want another one of those Charlie Chaplin episodes.Happy filming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
