there is flip cameras

If you have a unlimited amount of money then there are hundreds but if you area normal person, then you need to at least give us an idea of your budget. video cameras fall into four catagories, Mini-DV (tape) media card Small cards you slot into your camera Hard drive camcorders, you guest it uses a micro hard drive, and the last a mini-DVD (not worth having dont loose your money) for quality go for Mini-dv (tape) by far the best quality, easy to use tapes are cheap, down side it takes real time to get the video onto your computer. 5 min's video takes 5 min's. next come media card and HDD good quality, easy to use, all you have to do is copy the video to your computer, downside the video is highly compressed, it takes a fast computer to be able to edit the video. good sized hard drive and loads of ram 4 gb at least, fast processor. all the above offer high definition dont bother with cameras that say thay have 2000x digital zoom unless you want poor quality video, optical zoom af about 20x is enough you do not have much option today for more as most makers give you 30-40+ x you cannot use it unless you have your camera on a tripod. important thing is low ligt (LUX) lower the better, especially if you want to film inside. cheap cameras dont offer very low lux try for 1 pref 0 Sony offer night shot you can video in complete darkness, the video will be very grainy but a useful feature if you need it. try not to get the lightest camera you can a little weight helps reduce your hand shaking. to useful things but seldom found on cheaper camcorders is an external mic and headphone socket, nice to have but not essential There are a few things for you to have alook at Good luck RR
