What is a really good digital camera or video rocorder?

?

ok, I had a digital sony camera but it broke. I am looking to purchase a new one but i really know very little about this kind of stuff.

This is what im looking for: a camera that has good picture quality, the ability to record home videos, and a rechargable battery. Anyone have any recommendations? Price doesn't really matter. thanks


Also...it may just be better to buy a video recorder with the ability to take pictures. Would it be better to buy seperate devices for video recording and taking pictures?

Answer
Since you will take videos for only home use, then no need for two devices. Therefore, go for Canon EOS Rebel T3. It is a very good entry level DSLR and with very good video quality. Read this review:

This camera allows you to use live screen shooting which so many people like these days and it takes HD video.The video quality is very good at its original size. Check it here:

What is a good camera that zooms far and that can record videos? ?

jrichmine_

I am looking for a camera that zooms far and that can record videos well or visa versa: a camcorder that takes good pictures and has good optical zoom (10-15x). I am going to the mountains in a couple of weeks and I want to take great pictures. My budget is around $275, but I can spend up to $300.

Answer
There is a low cost Canon camcorder that can take so so still pictures and great video, but have not seen digital cameras that can match the video of a camcorder. Have been looking at cameras for some time now and the best information I have is below.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Please read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices.

What gives a camera its picture quality? The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is almost impossible to see in bright sun.

Higher mega pixels may not really be the best thing to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting.

best digital camera with video recording and over 8mp for under $150.00?

taylorg939

this would be my 5th camera due to either breaking it or hating it.
i like taking pictures but i love making movies even more so i want something that's good with both.

-thanks

Answer
While most cameras take video, and some camcorders take photos; to get the best of both, you need both. Have not seen a camera that compares with the video from a camcorder and camcorders can't take good quality photos. Suggest the least expensive Canon Camcorder and the Canon A590IS camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
It is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures. Mega pixel resolution is about potential photo size, not picture quality.

In new cameras, look for a viewfinder (LCD invisible in bright sun), optical image stabilizer, and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm ...

The Canon A590IS is a slightly older model that is available everywhere at great sale prices. Think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has auto focus, a viewfinder, optical image stabilization, and uses rechargeable NiMH batteries.
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A590IS/A590ISA.HTM ...
http://bountii.com/deal-1523871-canon-powershot-8-0-megapixel.html ...

For expanded wide angle or telephoto capabilities, the A590 IS is compatible with Canon's accessory lens adapters: A small button next to the lens bezel is actually a latch; press it and you can remove the bezel ring, exposing a bayonet mount for accessory lenses. Canon offers the WC-DC52 0.7x wide-angle lens, the TC-DC52A telephoto lens, the 250D 52mm closeup lens separately, along with the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them on the camera. (Note that the wide, tele, and macro lenses all need the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them to the camera. The lenses won't work by themselves.)

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with temperature monitor, trickle charge technology, and safety timer ($9.76) at Walmart. Use pre-charged 2000mAh Duracell ($12.97) or RayOVac ($5.97) batteries (both hold charge one year) and a full cycle charge. To preserve battery charge, use the viewfinder.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

digital camera.......?

:]

what kind of camera does the jonas brothers use to record their videos? there camera works really well and i would like to get it for christmas but i don't know what it is called.

Answer
Not sure what camera they use, but have had great results with a low priced Canon Camcorder. Most cameras don't do as well as Camcorders at video, are much better at photos.

While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.

Digital Camera with good video recording quality?

qanda15

Can you recommend a small digital camera that has very good video recording quality? Basically I want something almost as good as a video camera, but that fits in my pocket.

Answer
I use a Canon Digital Ixus 850 IS (also known as Canon Powershot SD800 Digital Elph), which has excelent movie quality. It even makes me wonder if a camcorder is justifiable anymore and with a 4 or 8 GB SDHC card you can record up to 1 hour of video at 640x480 30fps and the movie looks splendid. The camera is ultra-compact, very stylish, round with no protrusions and nothing to snag into your clothes, fits easily in your jeans pocket and has a durable metal body which has resisted so far 3 drops on the floor, cement, a hard hit with the lens opened and still works perfectly.

Here's full review of the camera: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd800is/

Best Digital Camera for Video Recording?

Don't Look

Hi!! :P

I bought a Kodak EasyShare M1093 Digital Camera, and I dropped it from 3 feet and it broke. The camera is really cheap, so I have to buy another one. My question is, can you please tell me a durable made digital camera that takes high quality video and pictures? My budget is no more than $300. I tried to search on google, but most cameras have bad reviews and its really frustrating. Thanks for answering ;)

Answer
I recommend going with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. It has amazing photo quality and also some of these other features:

-3" inch LCD
-12x optical zoom
-HD movie capture (You should probably get at least an 8GB SD card for recording video)

It has received an excellent review from CNET, a gadget reviewing website. Here is the link to the review:
http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs3/4505-6501_7-33543456.html?tag=mncol;lst

The price on Amazon is $280 and it is a very good deal. Here is the link:

If you have any other questions, email me and I'll try to get back to you. Hope this helps!

Can you suggest a digital (recording) camera for me please?

Cadi

I currently have an Olympus Digital camera, but it's three years old, so it only shoots videos in VGA, which isn't very good quality. I want to record and make craft tutorial videos for YouTube, but I had a bad experience with Kodak (in short, I bought a small HD video camera, and it was crap quality, and the battery life was poor. When I told them that I wanted help with it since it was still under warranty, they refused to help me).

I don't mind if it's a 'normal' point and shoot camera that also records video, once it's in HD. Unfortunately my budget isn't much.
can you please suggest a type of camera that would be good quality footage, and would not break the bank? (Most I can do is $300 US.) Thank you!

What are some digital cameras that can also record videos?

Q. Like, at least a video thats 5 mmin. long. ya i know depenging on the memory.
Cuz i got DV304 canon today. its so cheap and ugly. 10 secs of vid and idk. i dont like it.

i need a small digital camera that can record videos too. small size of course. and slim and thin. w/e.

kk thnx!

Answer
I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. Well, the movie feature that you are wondering about, depends on the amount of memory that you have. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.

What is the absolute best digital camera around [pictures, video, recording, ect...]?

xCaffeineC

Something hopefully around $600 or $700 but perferably under! And I need something with the full package with camera effects, great lighting, video added, but mostly for pictures!

Answer
Check out www.dpreview.com and read about the lastest cameras and reviews. The best fit for you is different than for a pro. Cameras have different sensors (Canon uses CMOS) and (Fuji uses two sensors) therefore, it all has to do with personal taste.
Canon is rated number one in many areas for pros but if you want a " point and shoot camera" you should consider size, weight, easy of use. Go to Staples or local camera store and see the look and feel.
The larger the megapixel image the better the enlargement but more storage is need on your computer.

What are some digital cameras that can also record videos?

Q. Like, at least a video thats 5 mmin. long. ya i know depenging on the memory.
Cuz i got DV304 canon today. its so cheap and ugly. 10 secs of vid and idk. i dont like it.

i need a small digital camera that can record videos too. small size of course. and slim and thin. w/e.

kk thnx!

Answer
I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. Well, the movie feature that you are wondering about, depends on the amount of memory that you have. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.

What kind of digital camera should I buy?

I have a digital camera right now, but i want to upgrade. It doesnt have sound when you listen to videos, you have to change the battery every day if you use it for a long time, and its really slow when you take pictures. I want something in pink or purple. It has to have a good battery life, and be able to record videos. Price doesnt matter. Thanks!!

Answer
All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......

The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.

I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck

best digital camera for video recording reviews image

Mel P

I am looking at the Little Tykes digital video camera for my 3 year old for Christmas, but i can't find any reviews for it. Does anyone have it? How does it work? How long can it record video. Doe the batteries run out every 5 minutes? I am also looking at the v-tech digital camera which records 5 minutes of video. Which one is better?

Answer
Go to Amazon.com and type 'Little Tikes digital camera " in the search.
It will show you that it's not very well rated by people who bought it.
I buy lots off Amazon because of free shipping over $25 and the reviews you can get from people who have bought the item before.
I love to do Christmas shopping in my jamies!!!

Looking for a good digital camera?

DLS_CB

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a moderately inexpensive digital camera (35-85 bucks).

I am just planning on using this for taking pictures of myself or my friends, just casual stuff. Video recording isn't really needed, self-timer would be nice.

I know I can probably just spend 2 hours looking all over the internet for one, but I really don't trust some of the reviews on those sites.

I prefer to listen to my trusted comrades here on yahoo answers :)

What percentage of people do you think use electronic devices without ever changing default values?

Barkley Ho

I will bet that over 90% of the people with digital cameras, video cameras, and even cell phones have no idea on how to change any settings. I had a friend who thought his video camera was broken because it would not keep recording when he took his finger off the button. One of his children had changed the setting. How many people with 8 mega pixel cameras leave it at the highest setting and only view pictures on their computer. How many people with satellite tv scan through every channel in the directory because they have no idea you can set favorites. I can go on forever.

Answer
80-90% easy. If i had the time, I'd find you a bunch of articles and research that I have read recently about this phenomenon..

basically, when a company is looking to improve a product, they go about surveying and testing what their consumers "want" in a product..

not in context, on a piece of paper.. of course you're going to say, "yeah I want the ability to start my washing machine and defrost my car from my video camera." In practice, of course, no one would ever use such features.. the end result is a junked up consumer interface full of stuff that (while functional) serves little purpose to the common consumer outside of showing off gadgets to your neighbor, good reviews in consumer reports, and bells and whistles for salespeople.

What is the best digital video camera out there with the best deal?

best digital camera for video recording reviews image

sonicblade

I'm wondering right now what is the current best deal for a digital video camera that connects easily to your computer so you are able to transfer the video you recorded from your camera to your computer for video editing and movie making. Right now the current one i have is a basic straight to mini cassette so I'm forced to rewind when i mess up recoding something. I'm trying to find something 500 or below. Also please include a link of the camcorder you suggest

Answer
There is a new type of digital video camera that encompasses a hard drive. As a result, there is no tapes or other types of media that need to be removed from the camera in order to upload the video to a pc, basically you just connect the camera to your pc and upload the video from the camera's hard drive to the hard drive on your pc. Because the video camera has a hard drive you can record over 10 hours worth of quality videos. That is pretty amazing. Currently reviews are pointing to the JVC Everio GZ-MG35 as a great camera that encompasses the hard drive technology.

Are camcorders good for still photography as well?

Sunny Deol

Or are they only meant for video recording?
How about the Sony DCR SX21E?


I am finding it difficult to choose between a digital camera and a camcorder, so asking.

Answer
If you think about it, you could answer your own question.

Video is shot at 30 fps, which means that you have no ability to use controlled shutter speeds like 30 seconds or 1/4000th second and all those in between

Pick the camera that most suits your needs.

If you want to shoot still images, buy a digital camera.

If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera

If you want to shoot both, some dSLR cameras have a video feature, you you may want to read this first.

What is a really good digital camera or video rocorder?

best digital camera for video recording reviews image

?

ok, I had a digital sony camera but it broke. I am looking to purchase a new one but i really know very little about this kind of stuff.

This is what im looking for: a camera that has good picture quality, the ability to record home videos, and a rechargable battery. Anyone have any recommendations? Price doesn't really matter. thanks


Also...it may just be better to buy a video recorder with the ability to take pictures. Would it be better to buy seperate devices for video recording and taking pictures?

Answer
Since you will take videos for only home use, then no need for two devices. Therefore, go for Canon EOS Rebel T3. It is a very good entry level DSLR and with very good video quality. Read this review:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KMXHSCN3Q2JN/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004J3Y9U6&nodeID=&linkCode=&sourceid=mh.ds&tag=kefauca-20

This camera allows you to use live screen shooting which so many people like these days and it takes HD video.The video quality is very good at its original size. Check it here:

What are some digital cameras that can also record videos?

Q. Like, at least a video thats 5 mmin. long. ya i know depenging on the memory.
Cuz i got DV304 canon today. its so cheap and ugly. 10 secs of vid and idk. i dont like it.

i need a small digital camera that can record videos too. small size of course. and slim and thin. w/e.

kk thnx!

Answer
I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. Well, the movie feature that you are wondering about, depends on the amount of memory that you have. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.
