I'm planning on getting a new Digital video camera...I have a budget of about $800-$900... I want an HD camera of course, and I plan on using the camera to make short films on YouTube, and also to enter into contests...I want it to have some built in memory if possible, and also needs to have good sound and lighting... I'd like a new 2012 digital camera if there are any new good ones out...Thanks!

Getting a HD camcorder is taking a step backward in Video Quality. HD camcorders Interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly, the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. MiniDV tape camcorders give every frame of every shot and usually cost less.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video.

What are Nexus 7's video capabilities?
brahmaputr
I was thinking about buying a Nexus 7 tablet but what are its video camera capabilities? I understand it only has a front facing camera--is there a way around this to shoot conventional videos--not just of myself? If there is a way to do this, how does the quality compare to conventional video cams? Thx
Answer
Unveiled late last month at Google I/O 2012, the Nexus 7 is one of the most well received tablets since the iPad 2. Critics are absolutely loving the Nexus 7 because it offers the features of a $500 tablet â quad core processor, a gig of RAM, HD display, long lasting battery life, powerful graphics etc. etc. â at just $199. Combine all that with the latest version of Android, 4.1 Jelly Bean, and you get the best in Android tablet experiences today.
Most of these critics received their review unit of the Nexus 7 at Google I/O. The first thing these folks do is record themselves unboxing the device. Iâve never personally found any interest in watching people unbox a gadget, but one Jean-Louis Nguyen went through some of the most popular unboxing videos and created a montage out of them after he realized that the Nexus 7âs packaging is horribly difficult to open. Check it out after the jump.
The video â which weâve embedded at the very bottom â shows shorts clips taken from unboxing videos recorded by fifteen different reviewers coming from sites like DroidDog, PocketNow, Phandroid, LATimes, TechnoBuffalo, PhoneDog and GameStop.
All reviewers are shown pushing and pulling, shaking and baking, and almost coming near to pulling their hair out as they do their best to remove the Nexus 7 from its packaging, in short; itâs a small fight to unbox a Nexus 7 tablet, something which might prove to be a turn-off for a lot of users. Nguyen categorically states that this video is for comic relief purposes and is âall in good humorâ.
The release of the Nexus 7 has given rise to Kindle Fire 2 and iPad Mini rumors, which are expected to be announced later this year. While the Nexus 7 has pretty much every tablet beat on pure specifications, it still lacks the great variety of digital content â music, movies, TV shows â that Amazon and Apple offer. If Amazon and Apple can match the Nexus 7âs specs and offer the same digital library, then the Nexus 7 will be in for some very heavy competition.
And we all love competition in the market, it really makes us drool over the choices we have before we ultimately go for the purchase.
