Cheap Digital Camcorders

Cheap Digital Camcorders

Any cheap camcorders compatible with Windows Movie Maker Vista ?


Okay, so I`m only 15 years-old, and I am really into production.
I am SUPER familiar with Movie Maker,
I have a small reel of examples of my videos at my youtube
that I made specifically for this post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO3pxs8qvZ0
yes, my videos are cheaply made ;]

Right now, I`m using a cheap digital camera, which i hate.
I researched about MinoHD, Sony Webbie HD, ect.
but they recorded in MP4 format [not so easy with movie maker].
I found the details for the Creative Vado HD to be very attractive.
It recorded in AVI, and everything overall sounded great.

However, there were complaints on the Vado HD,
that in Vista, it required endless searching for codecs, etc.

I just want a cheap camcorder with nice enough picture,
and that would import into movie maker easily without conversion.
is that so much to ask for =/

PS: Im running Windows Movie Maker Vista on Windows 7[Sony Vaio Laptop]
No super fancy talk please, I`m only 15.

Hm. Try searching for video cameras under $200 that are flip-style. The Kodak Zi8 is one that many popular YouTubers use and it’s HD. There are many choices, though.

If it would be a cool feature, Sanyo has some water-proof cameras. Try the links :)

The digital camcorders have swept the market by storm

In current days, the photo goes digital, movies goes digital and music also goes digital. The true digital time has come. So the ability of most users to share and enrich such things will be dramatically better than the last few years without digital. It is obvious that portable digital devices such as digital camcorder, digital cameras make the life more convenient. It is not only time saving, cost effective, but also flexibility. Now let’s share the advantages.

1. Cost Effective: Camcorders are way more cost effective than normal cameras. These camcorders and their memory chips (if required) need to be purchased only once in its lifetime (unless you would want to upgrade your camera and memory card!). These camcorders and memory cards are costlier than their normal counterpart cameras and films, but it is a one-time investment. Unlike, normal cameras or camcorders, where one needs to change the film roll or tape each time, in case of digital camcorders, the memory card or hard drive can be formatted and used again and again. These memory cards are user friendly in this aspect.

2 Time saving: A lot of time is saved. No time is wasted on taking snaps, taking the roll to the developer and then waiting for the film to be developed and the snaps to be printed – or viewing a tape. Thanks to the digital age, the pictures we take or the videos we shoot are stored in a memory card, hard disk drive or on DVD (depending on the camcorder), and can be transferred to your laptop in a mere matter of seconds in a digital format. This advantage is not there in old normal cameras.

3. Flexibility: Being newer, digital camcorders come with loads of technological benefits. Based on the latest technology, they are more user friendly, and also have all the latest tech savvy features.

No need to say more about various advantages from the digital camcorders. As the mass consumer market favors ease of use, portability, and price, most of the consumer-grade camcorders sold today emphasize handling and automation features over raw audio/video performance. This segment has followed an evolutionary path driven by relentless miniaturization and cost-reduction, made possible by progress in design and manufacturing.

Online stores offer you a convenient way for purchasing digital camcorders and digital cameras. And bose-ok.com is just the website. They work with hundreds of factories and manufactures directly and order from them directly, that’s why they can provide you the authentic quality, competitive price, original packing.
