What are some good cameras for video recording?

  • I need to buy a video camera so i can be able to do some podcasts, maybe a decent looking music video and also video tape my church events. Is there a good recommendation for a camera? Or/and software?

  • Answer:

    It depends on how high up you want to go. I'll stick with the Canon brand, because it's what I know and because they have great color. For semi-pro level in SD (not HD) start with: Canon GL1 For just a little more money and a much better picture: Canon GL2 For vastly better color and low-light handling: Canon XL1s **highly recommended If you want to go HD, go for the Canon XH G1. If these cameras are out of your budget range, look VERY HARD on eBay for a used model. You can get a very good deal. It's how I got my XL1s for less than half of retail. It's still working great for me after 3 years. You can't get good picture and color for less than about $600. For software, you can try Sony's Vegas Movie Studio 9. It can be had for under $100. It's more advanced than just about anything in its price range. I personally use and love Final Cut Pro, but it costs near $1000 and requires that you own a Mac.
