Hi All,
I am looking for an advice on a compact and versatile digital videocam. I've never done much of video capturing. I started playing with it occasionally since I have it my K-7, - in the situations when I need to capture things like a class summary. Now, I need one for my class. I may use it occasionally for two other things: 1. being able to display the live video on the computer in real time (via USB or similar connection) I need to be able to switch to different resolutions: at least 1024x768 and one of the higher ones (e.g. 1280x780, 720p, 1080?) 2. take videos of class summaries in a somewhat low light condition. Other desired options: * HD-1080 resolution is not a must, but I'd like to have at least 720p. * It'd be nice to be able to record to SD cards, as I have a few of them already, but it isn't a deal breaker. * reasonable zoom: it'd be nice to have equivalent of the 28mm on full frame camera or maybe even slightly wider (24mm). * reasonably high-ISO would be nice. * autofocus during shooting * anti-shake (optical would be nice, but not a must) * manual focus option would be nice * automatic exponometry, but a possibility of manual adjustment would be considered. * compact size and small weight woulf be great. * Budget: I don't know yet. Definitely below $1K; but $500-800 would be preferred. Maybe cheaper, if reasonable cameras exist. There are probably a few more that I am forgetting at this point. I would greatly appreciate suggestions and pointers.
