Re: [videoblogging] What camera should I ask Santa for?

[robert a/k/a r]

I've found portability to be key.

Whilst I heart my Sony PD150 and the amazing quality, I find I prefer 
to have a camera I can keep in my pocket or backpack all the time. This 
cam takes up too much room in my pack, though if it's a planned shoot I 
don't mind this particularly since it has powered XLR inputs so you can 
easily grab a pair of lavs or shotguns and have great audio too. I 
can't say enough great things about this cam other.

I'm experimenting now with the Canon S80, which has a higher resolution 
video setting than most still cams; my recent post of the cube was shot 
with that camera (though I compressed the heck out of it to put it on 
the interweb but it still looks pretty darn good).

this is it: Canon SD400 or SD500
canon's are great cameras for video.
extremely small and cheap.
Ryan just bought one online for 175$.
takes literally several hours of video with a big SD card.
30 frames a second, shoots as long as you have memory.

[Loiez D.]

I have a Panasonic NV-GS120
3CCD
with a good optic Leica
This is too small to make good films ( i want to buy an HDV)
and this his too big ( and expensive) to be alway on my pocket.

When you buy a camera ( AMHA) the only question is :
"what do you want to do with your camera ?"

Re: [videoblogging] What camera should I ask Santa for?

Hi Lisa!

I'm glad you asked that question.

I get it all the time.

I hope we see a really good response from the group.

When I tell people that I use my Canon S400 for video they are usually 
surprised.  I really like being able to drag the video clips to the 
desktop without having to deal with tapes.

The quality though is not as good as my Canon GL/2 and when we watch on 
TV, you notice a difference.  It's pretty good for web video though.

One good thing about miniDV tapes is that you always have a backup of 
you do not reuse your tapes.

I'd look into one of the cameras like the Canon SD400 or SD500 for a 
portable, Flash based camera.

Other than that, I'd like to hear about people's suggestions for a 
miniDV camera from maybe Canon or Sony.

[videoblogging] What camera should I ask Santa for?

[Lisa Williams]

So, what camera should I ask Santa for?

I've got a pocket digital camera that I like, but it limits video clips
to three minutes.  I'd like to get a small digital camcorder, nothing
too pricey.  Thoughts?

Lisa
