Camcorder dilemma!?

I read a lot of reviews, comparisons, talked to people and posted on yahoo answers about the ideal camcorder .. but just before buy one: what is really the best?! i dont know why but I really want to buy a Sony Handycam .. I just returned from the showroom of Sony and I three cameras in mind: 1 - DCR-HC96 2 - HDR-HC3 3 - DCR-DVD905, which I shud go? The miniDV, HD MiniDV or DVD? What are the pros and cons of each and what advantage makes a DVDCam has more than a miniDV camera and vice versa .. please help me out QUICK!

MiniDV-format easier to edit and offers the highest quality (compared with a similar camera a different format) HDV-not so easy to edit as miniDV, but some programs that natively support. It continues to provide the maximum quality consumer / pro format (DVCPRO excluding 100). DVD-kill before you change one of them. However, if you decide to shoot and see, you can only pop it into your DVD player. but if you add or change something later, you're in luck. Personally, I think you should go for a mini-DV or HDV CAM. Each one is more versatile than a camera, DVD, and if you decide not to edit, burn to a disc has more than 10 minutes. However, to decide which one you want you need to see what they have or are willing to go. If you want HD, you need a computer good editing, a dual-core computer is good. A single nucleus below 2 GHz is probably not good. If you have something like this, then you're probably good to go. If not, then you will probably want to upgrade your computer, or simply continue with miniDV SD. Another point to consider is if you have an HD set or not. If you do not have one, could well stay with SD: its cheaper, not a professional (no offense, is only the professionals have a greater need for high definition consumer to do now), you probably will not have to upgrade your computer (although perhaps), and you will not be able to see the HD difference anyway if you have an HD set. BTW, transfer miniDV or HDV video to a computer, you need a FireWire port and cable. If your computer doesn't have one, you can buy a PCI adapter card. Hope this helps!

A low price, good quality camcorder?

I am looking for a camcorder low price and good quality plan to take to Disney World during the summer. My friend and I are doing a kind of documentary of the journey and we need a video camera with great battery life, but not too expensive. My price range is $ 100-200. If anyone knows of a video camera of good quality with long battery life for a little over $ 200, let me know. If you suggest a video camera, please write a review of the camcorder and the pros and cons of having it. Any additional information is always appreciated! Thanks! :)

Well, this may have reason in its budget of $ 200. Is the Flip video camera. It has launched a new model that shoots in high definition! Prices from $ 179-239 Pros: excellent quality, easy to use, and wireless ... USB attachment is on the device, "customized with skins, etc. to your liking rechargeable batteries that are 4 + hours between charges, Flip it for video editing software, etc. Cons:-you have to get used to at first - bit of a learning curve is a little small screen

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) • 1280x720 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.

  • HD time-lapse game camera that takes pictures every 5 to 10 seconds

  • Records up to 7 consecutive days; video resolution of 1,280 x 720
