hi guys, i'm thinking of buying a video camera as i'm putting a lot of vids onto youtube now, my canon g10 is a awesome camera, just not that good for videos

just wondering if anyone here knows a thing or two about video cams. i dont want to buy cheap crap:doh, i could probably max at £165

well, you want a full HD camera, and for £165 you should be able to get somethig half decent, something like this:

I know its £199, but its an example. Personally, id go digital all the way, youll find it much easier when uploading to your computer, you just need to get a decent HD one with a good lens.

most of my recording is done with a basic camera, samsung pl-70.

Works very well and nice and small.

Do mine on the phone :D absolutely fine thankyou :clap cant be doing with loads and loads of bits kit falling off the dash :lol

[Fez_uk]

my mount is screwed to the dash thank you. :D

[clivvy]

its a fair point though, most normal cameras are excellent for video recording, mine is, i think it records video at the full 7mpx and down samples it, and the camera is ultra thin, light and ace quality (Casio s something or other, ultra slim jobby)
