HI,
im looking for some advise on cameras to use in low light places light concerts.
I need to be able to record live shows where at times the visibility isnt so great.
I also need something affordable.
Thanks for all replies
Answer
Good "low light" video recording quality = LARGE lenses and large imaging chips. Anything less than about $2,500 won't have these. As well, LOUD audio at the concerts = manual audio gain control is needed.
Assuming we start with the manual audio control and medium lenses and single imaging chip, take a look at the Canon HF S20 and HF S200. The Sony HDR-CX550 is worth a look, too. All of these have a 58mm lens filter diameter and single CMOS OK-sized imaging chip. I use a Sony HDR-FX1 (which was replaced by the HDR-FX1000). It does great in low light - but it has a 72mm lens filter diameter and 1/3" 3CCD imaging chip system.
Below the HF S200 and CX550 you will find most of the camcorders use a 37mm lenses filter diameter - or smaller (30.5mm) and have smaller single imaging chips... and most do not have manual audio gain control...
"Affordable" means different things to different people for different reasons. Since camcorders can range from $50 to $50,000, a $1,000 camcorder is not exactly unreasonable and is actually in the high end of the consumer camcorder price range...
