does anyone know what the video camera that guy in rent had was called?i think there SO cool! and totally want one.. whats it called?
Answer
Um... no you don't. Unless you want to spend mucho $$$ for film. Okay, fine, maybe you do want one, but there are some things you should now. First off, it's not a video camera. It really doesn't matter what you call it, you could call it a chicken sandwich if you wanted, but be aware that film cameras are not like video cameras. Which brings us to our next point. Film is expensive. You can't re-record over it, and developing and buying film costs a lot of money. Also, if you don't have a projector, you have to get your film transferred to video, which means even more money. The good new, however, is that Super-8 cameras can be picked up for literally $10 or less. Ask your parents, they might have one. My friend's parents actually had two in the basement. Also, film is easy to shoot, but hard to get right. Kinda like how everyone's used those disposable cameras, but the pictures always turn out looking like shit. Same thing here. With that said, however, I hope this helped and good luck finding a camera! (hint: look in Amish antique malls. Dead serious.)

Video cameras for movies?
Me and my friends like making movies but our last camera broke. I'm going to buy the new one. It needs to be under $275. We don't make action films or anything like that we just make stupid movies. It has to film at least an hour and 30 minutes. Is there a camera that is good for me?
Answer
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.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.
