What's the best video camera to get in this situation?

Q. I wanted to record a walkthrough of a PS2 game with good quality, what supplies and kind of video camera will I need?

A. You need a camcorder with the "AV-in" feature. Most camcorders do not have this feature. camcorderinfo.com may be useful identifying a camcorder with this feature.

You can also use an analog/digital bridge (Pinnacle Dazzle or Canopus) to connect the game console directly to your computer and bypass the camcorder AV-in recording step.


What is the best camera for me?
Q. Hey so ive been trying to invest in a nice camera lately but i dont know what i should get. I want a camera that takes really good quality pictures, records videos with really nice quality, and if possible is waterproof. The water proof part isnt really a necessity like the other things but it would be a nice. I dont want one of those small little cameras, i want a nice professional one. So please any suggestions would be awesome.

A. You never mentioned how much you plan to spend. "A nice professional one" as you put it begins around $4,500. Entry level dslrs start about $460 to $500. Bridge cameras about $140 to $400-
If you want a super zoom on the cheap check out the Fuji line.


How to get good quality when recording games with a Camera?
Q. Well its pretty good quality when i record but it gets weird. Is there a strategy when recording Video Games???

A. The camcorder needs to have the AV-in feature. If it does not have AV-in, there is no cable that can make it have AV-in. Basically, you would need three "Y" cables... one end plugs into the game console (one for video, one for right audio, one for left audio). One end plugs into the TV. One end plugs into the camcorder with AV-in.

Rather than a camcorder, you can use a TV capture card or "analog/digital bridge" (like those from Pinnacle - Dazzle - or Canopus) and connect directly to your computer.
