I want to start vlogging (video blogging) advice on a website I'm active on, but I don't know a lot about technology. On Youtube, I often see that people have clear, crisp video of their internet or T.V./gaming activity. How do they do that? The only thing I know how to do is point to camera at the screen and that just looks awful. All I have is a digital camera and Windows.

New baby coming soon looking for a camera that takes good action shots?




Brittany


My husband and I are expecting our first baby in Feb. and we want a camera to capture all of our memories. I want to buy a new camera for this, but do not know of any cameras that take good action shots for a relatively low price (under $300). Can anyone tell me of a camera that takes good action shots?


Answer
Congrats on the baby. Capturing babies and young children is one of the more difficult task. They are always in motion, and for babies, they are typically indoors where the light strenth is weak. The typical answer is to get a DSLR however your price restriction would rule out this option. If you can find a bit more funding, say around $400, I would recommend that you consider getting a used DSLR with a kit lens. Any DSLR would be able to focus quickly and accurately to freeze the motion of your baby. The typical shutter speed to freeze motion is 1/400th sec. However, you can freeze motion by using the onboard flash and shoot at a slower shutter speed.

If your budget is fixed at $300 or below, I would recommend the Panasonic ZS3 (TZ7, another name for it). This is an excellent all-around Digital P&S. It has a fast auto-focus for this type of camera, the zoom range is awesome so you can focus close and far, it is small and will fit into your purse or coat jacket, on top of that it can also record HD videos.

Very similar to the Panasonic ZS3 are the Canon SX200 IS and the Sony H20.

You may try vendors such as Costco or any big-box that will have a generous return policy and try it to see if you can develop a technique to shoot effectively with

Be sure to budget for a fast memory card. If you decide to go with the Panasonic or something equivalent, be sure to get an SDHC type 6 card with at least 4 GB of capacity.

Lastly, I suggest that you peruse www.depreview.com and check out their camera database. These three cameras I mentioned above were evaluated by the staff at dpreview.com last year as part of the big comparison.

If you decide to go with the DSLR route, the forums there will provide plenty of information and very "lively" discussion on your camera choice.

A very reputable source for used cameras is www.keh.com. They are upgrading their website and it is very unstable but their phone still works.
