does it matter if it's a 2.0 Mp camera or 5.0 Mp camera for recording?
what should I also consider on video recording?
I'm not trying to get those high class Camcorder...just planning on mobile phones (Iphon, LG viewty, LG shine, Samsung ect)
Answer
No, the mega-pixel value of the lens is not necessarily directly relevant to the performance of a camera that is recording video.
When looking for video recording, make sure the device is capable of recording at a rate of 30 frames per second (FPS). This is considered the standard national frame rate for the United States. Other countries use PAL, which is based on 24 FPS.
If you plan on recording video for use like in web pages, then the 320x240 resolution might be suitable for you.
If you want to have a better video recording, like something you might want to burn to DVD, then you need to have a camera that can sustain 30 FPS at a 640x480 minimum resolution.
The chips that are used to 'catch' photos that are installed in most all camera phones are of low quality. They are just not in the same category at all. Camera phones will also produce poor quality audio as well. Consider them good for catching emergency shots, for example like an automotive accident for evidence in a court of law.
While I would not go for a mobile phone for digital still photos or for video, I would go for a digital still photo camera that performs these functions.
For example, my 7.2 megapixel Sony camera takes great photos. It takes darn good video with audio as well. The video clip lengths are only limited by the amound of flash memory you have in your device. I really love this camera. Not to mention, as of December 15th 2007, it is currently going for something like $129.99 USD. It even comes with a carrying case, Sony rechargeable batteries, disposable batteries, hand strap, internal memory, and an intuitive user interface to boot.

Hope this helps.

Recording voice in video camera?
happygirl
If I had shot a video using a canon camcorder, can I play back and then add voice by using a plug in mic? What kind of mic can I buy for recording?
Answer
You can not add audio for the video in-camera. But, you can leave the lens cap on and record your voice with the camera. It will be a black video clip that you can edit it in later using your video using video editing software like Windows MovieMaker, etc.
The better way is to record your voice using a mic plugged into your PC and using your PC recording program. Your audio will be saved as a .wav file and that can be added and/or replace the existing audio of your video in the editor program.
Ideally, the best audio is done by using a separate recording device. I use a Zoom 4Hn for voice, music, and ambient sound.
