best video camera for night recording image

Hannah

If i were to record a video at night in the dark outside would it show up with the flip video camera?

I want the new slideHD

also would it be a good idea to buy a flip ?
is it decent quality ?

Answer
nahhh not really, i bought a flip mino hd and it is really handy and stuff but i noticed the camera shakiness is terrible but over all it is prty descent but u might wana do some research on the kodak zi8, because its 1080p and it has an external mic pluggin, wich is really really handy, im thinking about selling my flip and getting one of those so i would get a kodak zi8 but thats just my opinion/

what are the best hd video cameras under $300 that record sports well in low light conditions?

i know that the $300 is not a lot for an hd video camera and that it won't be the greatest video quality ever, but i'm just a college kid so my funds are limited to say the least. i record tennis matches with my brother, and we usually play at night, as well as basketball games (during the day). any thoughts?

Answer
no consumer HD camera can record sports action except as a blur. that is because of the super high compression. MPEG4, AVCHD and similar codecs record only one actual frame and then throw out the next 7, giving it a GOF factor of 8. on playback the missing frames have to be guessed at by interpolation, which gives blurry jumpy results.

the solution is to use the system most widely used by action sports videographers, which is miniDV. while not HD it can be shot in the widescreen mode so the picture will fill an HDTV screen. And you can get one for under $300, look at the Canon ZR960.
