Looking for good, cheap ,digital camera (compact) with video recording and editing. What should I get?




Apo





Answer
Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:

1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. Takes "continuous" 2 frames per second "action/sports" images;
4. Has macro feature for close-ups of small objects focused under 6 inches;
5. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
6. It's very small and light;
7. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards - a 2 gig card sells for $19 at samys.com;
8. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
9. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
10. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
11. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck!

compact camera to record video from concert?




stewy


i have been looking for a camera to take with me to a few concerts so i can have some memories of it for my own personal use. i know that audio from a compact camera is next to pointless so that is not a factor as i have a zoom h1 which can handle the loud audio.

what i am looking for is a compact camera that can take hd 720p video, small enough to fit in the pocket, and can handle the dark environment with flashing lights every now and again.

my range is £150, i know its not much but as i don't need audio and i'm not looking for anything super high end it might be ok. any suggestions will be looked at. thanks



Answer
This camera is a little big, but you can fit it in your pockets, and it comes with a strap to hang on your wrist. Its the Canon Powershot 720p and 30x optical zoom. This is by far the best camera i have ever used for concerts. In fact, heres video of my sister using it at a backstreet boys concert:
