It's not a fancy camera or anything, a low end underwater point n shoot camera I recorded video with. Basically, I recorded video and deleted it accidentally. I'm not sure if the video was recorded on internal memory (since it had some) or external on an SD card. Is it possible to recover this? Would it be something difficult? Let's say I were to re-sell my camera, would the buyer be able to recover my old pix and video if they knew what they were doing?
Yeah, it was a small video clip that could've been put on the internal memory. If (hypothetically) it were recorded on internal memory just taking shots of nothing and deleting them over and over should clear it?



Answer
Maybe, but there are just too many unknowns.

Not knowing if you used the cameras internal memory or the actual SD card makes your task problematic.

All you can really do is download the free image recovery program from Transcend called RecoveRx and then using a card reader, attempt to recover any image files that were at one time on the card. The program will find almost any image file, whether it is video or still file.

Usually the internal memory on P&S cameras is rather small, so any video on it would only be a few minutes or less.

If you are concerned about any leftover images on the cameras internal memory, just format, fill it with random shots and repeat this process a few times. That should destroy any lingering image files.

Does HD video on a regular digital camera compare to a Flip camera?

I don't want to lug around a still camera and a pocket HD video camera. Is the video recording on the new digital point & shoots comparable to the Flip and it's competitors, or is a dedicated video camera better?


Answer
the video quality of most digital point and shoot cameras is about equivilent to the quality of the flip video. it may be even better if the digital camera will shoot HD Video (720 or 1080)
Neither of these will compare to the quality of the better traditional video camera's which are available today.
Another thing you may want to consider is a Digital SLR which has HD Video shooting, such as the Canon T1i or T21 or the Nikon D5000.
These will take video that is superior to anything but professional HD video cameras, for a very reasonable price.
The user interface will take some getting used to, since the camera won't auto focus while shooting, and the zoom function will be performed by rotating the zoom dial on the lens, but I can attest that the video quality is supurb.
