Hey guys I’m just wondering if anyone can help me out with recommendations for purchasing a digital camcorder.
I’ve used quite a few before but never payed them too much attention from a technical perspective.
My preference wouldn’t be anything over $600US (the less the better!)
Basically it’ll just be to get footage of my travels, and a fair bit of riding footage (nothing too professional though – Just for fucking about).
So a camera that’s good for low light and bright light I suppose is what I’m after?
If it could take decent stills that’d be choice, but I’m not expecting too much for that price...
Small enough to fit in a ski jacket/small backpack would be a big plus as well.
I’ve had a few recommendations, but they’ve all either exceeded the price range or have been countered by shit reviews on the net.
Any suggestions for a cheapish rider-handy camera would be muchos appreciated!
(Oh and I’ll have a good laptop with me {DVD burner etc.} so moving clips from tape shouldn’t be too difficult {fingers crossed}, but I still don't know if DV or DVD is better??)
