So I'm looking for a camera to shoot videos with that won't lose TOO much resolution when it goes slow motion on the computer. I'm low on money too. I want to start analyzing my tricks and stuff, and possibly make an edit just for kicks.

you could always shoot in slowmo mode, i know the hdr-hc3(5, or 7) has this mode. super duper!

just find a camera that you can adjust the FPS on. The more FPS the less you'll lose when slowing it down.

Get a RedOne cam. It has enough resolution to be blown up to the size of a theatre screen! It can shoot 1 - 60 fps and has a super shallow depth of field.

you can get them for around $600 at Bestbuy

if you can't afford $600 you might as well just get a disposable one

I'm trying to save up for college too, so I have to keep my buyings small. This is probably going to be my present to myself for my b-day in the summer anwyays, so I'm splurging by over $100 for this.

yea so your gona be stuck with a shitty camera. my canon optura 10 was in that range and it films perfectly fine. slomo is great too. its an amazing camera in the sun but dont even attempt to shoot in low light with it. canon doesnt seem to be too advanced in low light...

Not great but pretty good for what it is, my canon A620 was 300 when I bought it and it will shoot 60 fps or 30 with better res.

Once again I've succeded in rustlin' up some trouble.


and $17,000 is really fucking cheap for a camera like that. I've seen 35mm cams that are worth around $90,000 for the body alone, without any lenses
