Cheap Camcorder Reviews

Ultra-Cheap Action Figures Review


What is a good camera/camcorder combination?


Alright, so keep in mind, I know absolutely NOTHING about technology, so please explain answers in detail! :)

I’m looking for a digital camera that can like…morph into a camcorder. You know, do a little twist and a turn, flip out the screen and bam! It turns from a camera into a camcorder. I just want to know what the best ones are for my money. I’m looking to spend only up to $400 (I know, kinda cheap for something so intricate, but what can I say, I’m a college student). Sites and reviews would be very helpful!

Thanks so much in advance! :)

Hi!

Funny question, but it’s a smart concept.

For the digital camera part I guess you mean those small compact ones with built-in objective, the ones we all know. For the camcorder you just need something able to film without limit in time and with good enough image size and video codec quality. It’s got to be compact but still have lots of storage space for videos – you need one that supports secure digital SDHC up to lots of gigabytes.

I was looking for the same thing so I went for the Sanyo Xacti, they are so small like most digicams and have different models from $100 up to $500 with a good bunch of high definition models within your budget. Their base is just as big as a cell phone, the objective sticking out a little, they weight the same as a digicam if not lighter (more like a cellphone actually). I bought a rather cheap model (CG-9) and the videos were quite good for standard VGA, the 9mpix photostills looked just brilliant for a $150 camera that fit in any pocket. I searched a lot online about compact camcorders and can assure the cheaper and mid-priced Xacti’s are a great deal and you can’t find many other good and compact camcorders but I haven’t tried or compared the higher end HD in the $400-$500 range. Maybe they’re super awesome as well.

But why should you have to flip twist turn the camera like a transformer to make it a camcorder when it can do both in the same shape??

I hope this helps!

Description

The PlotWatcher HD Game Surveillance System has revolutionized scouting camera technology and functionality. Unlike trail cameras that trigger on short-range motion, the PlotWatcher captures images of an area regardless of how far the subject is from the camera. So whether the animal is 30 feet or 330 feet away, you’ll see them on the video. This greater field of view allows you to see game and their travel patterns that would have otherwise gone undetected by traditional trail cameras. With this information, you can review your HD video to scout likely hunting locations before you go into the field. With this ability, you can pattern game and develop your strategy to know where and when you want to hunt. Get closer to your game and stop guessing where to hunt! Camera Features • Battery life lasts up to 35,000 video images (equals 7 days of 10 second interval time-lapse)* • GameFinder Software with MotionSearch software included • Review one full day in 3 minutes or less (5,000 frames of video) • 1280×720 HD video • Simple and easy-to-use thumb wheel control • Customizable recording time • Time-lapse settings for 5 or 10 second or customized intervals • 8 Gb USB drive recommended (not included) *4 AA batteries not included (Time based on 10 second interval setting)

Know exactly where to hunt without spending days manually scouting a location with the Day 6 PlotWatcher HD time-lapse game surveillance camera. The PlotWatcher records HD images of all the activity that happens in a select area in the days before you hunt. Once mounted at your stand location, the camera takes pictures every five to 10 seconds from dawn to dusk and condenses them into a 10-minute HD time-lapse video. As a result, you can review a full day of activity in just a few minutes, or even faster using the GameFinder video software. The PlotWatcher takes pictures every 5 to 10 seconds from dawn to dusk. The PlotWatcher is a step above most trail cameras, which trigger photos based on short-range motion. By contrast, the PlotWatcher captures images of an area regardless of how far away the subject stands. This greater field of view allows hunters to see game and analyze animals’ travel patterns that would have otherwise gone undetected by traditional trail cameras. The information is a must for hunters looking to make an educated decision on where and when to hunt. No more wasting time hunting in unproductive spots. The camera’s GameFinder video player software makes it a breeze to review your daily video files. The software lets you review files in forward or reverse at your choice of replay speed, or even scroll frame by frame for a more detailed review. You can also speed up the review process by using the MotionSearch feature, which skips to the next frame in which motion is observed. With GameFinder, you can easily build and share your own library of HD video clips and pictures. The PlotWatcher is easy to set up thanks to the simple one-button design. Simply select the time-lapse interval on the selector wheel, insert a USB drive, turn on the TLV unit, and scout. Other details include the ability to record up to seven consecutive days of time-lapse video; a video resolution of 1,280 x 720; a customizable recording time; and an SD card slot. The PlotWatcher–which requires four AA batteries (not included)–performs best when paired with an 8 GB USB drive.

Features

  • HD time-lapse game camera that takes pictures every 5 to 10 seconds
  • Allows hunters to analyze a potential hunting spot without manually scouting location
  • Records up to 7 consecutive days; video resolution of 1,280 x 720
  • GameFinder software lets you review files in forward/reverse or scroll frame by frame
