What Camcorder would be good for film?

What is a good camera/camcorder to film skateboarding?

  • I need a camera to film skateboarding and I want one that can not only film well but take pictures also. My range is about 200-400$! And it has to be able to put a fisheye lens on it.

  • Answer:

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V as the video is amazing, with many options, zooming while shooting, stereo sound, great auto focus, fantastic in low light. Keep in mind that for the highest quality setting, 1080p/60 fps AVCHD, if you want to view it on a Mac, you'll need to have the latest version of iMovie '11, running on at least the latest version of Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8). Of course, you can now upload these .MTS files directly to the various on-line sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Google+/Picasa, and you can view them on your HDTV through the mini-HDMI out (which is great).

The best video images be had come from a MiniDV tape camcorder. Every other storage media type camcorders interpolate the video, which means the video you transfer from this device; about 80% of the content of that file did not come from the lens assembly on the camcorder, but rather from electronic circuitry within the camcorder. This occurs because of the way every consumer level HD camcorders that does not use MiniDV tape media, takes video. You turn these on, press record and the camcorder takes one frame from the camcorder lens assembly, then makes 4 or 5 frames from the electronic circuitry within the camcorder then another frame from the lens and 4 or 5 frames not from the lens, this goes on and on throughout your whole video. This means do not a point a consumer level HD camcorders, that does not use MiniDV tape media, at any moving thing, as the resulting video will be mostly unwatchable. Then blend in the fact, these camcorders videos take pretty beefed up computer for editing and proper viewing. MiniDV tape camcorder is the way to go. To take pictures, get a DSLR or a Point & Shoot camera. And be advised, all DSLR cameras that also take video, also interpolate the video
