I have seen a lot of good quality Utube type stuff done with an Iphone or ipod. There are tripod adapters for both. First time I saw an ipad on a tripod, i did a triple take. Never occurred to me to use one like a camera on a tripod. It was recording video for a TV station. I think it was several hours worth, but might have been only 30-60 min, that I saw it there. It was going when i saw it, and still recording when I left probably close to an hour later.

This is a real HD Video camera. Only $145. Only problem with the JVC is they record everything in a format that has to be converted before you can use it. .mov These were over $500 a few years ago.

Doesn't matter all that much, most anything will make it. Lately I've used Angie's Canon point and shoot, you can see the result here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4nl-RiKisE I tried to make that video with the GoPro but the audio was terrible. I've got another video I just finished shooting on cleaning the points on my Polaris snowmobile, the Canon got the nod there too because it is threaded for a tripod.

I need to test and see if my Fuji shoots HD, if it does I'll stop stealing Angie's camera, although hers uses an SD card which my Mac has a slot for which is mighty handy.

My tape based camera has been sitting around for months. I may have to get a more serious solid state video camera if I do some pro level work but...

A lot of stuff you see on TV is shot with DSLR which I think is a tragic waste of a camera. Meaning the camera is being way under-utilized.

Hey Curt (or ?),

What is a good reasonable digital video camera for posting YouTube videos? I was thinking GoPro, but I dislike the fisheye (wide angle) lens. I was going to start videoing MB repairs and posting them (MB content).
Rick
