Hello, I want to buy a "camcorder" but am confused about the different recording formats...?

Question

Recording straight to a DVD sounds like a good option, but what about hard drive recorders or even the more basic formats? I just need to point it and record and then easily edit it (on my PC) & watch it on my telly!!

Answer 1

hey matey it depends on what your using the camera for... if your only recording it and watching it back on tv buy a dvd recorder..

If your editing the easiest medium is digital DV small cassettes or Digital Hi-8 Cameras i have a sony digital hi-8 camera it plugs into your pc via usb and firewire it is easy to navigate and even has built on effects and cheap too. when i got mine it was £350 now they are about £279 which isnt bad seen as what it can do the model is DVC-280E so good luck hope this helps

Answer 2

I'd go for hard drive. They massively improve on the recording time of other formats. If you're recording a wedding, say, the last thing you want is to run out of tape at a crucial moment.

Answer 3

I actually were in Angels Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Petco Park and in spite of the indisputable fact that the call is of that sauna in Miami in pink Sox equipment. anybody treats you with appreciate/ignores you, except the yank followers. there is in simple terms too a lot historic past there. It makes it exciting. As on your experience, i ought to under no circumstances understand why a Yankee fan ought to take position at Fenway for a pink Sox--Tigers sport in Yankee equipment. positioned on Tiger equipment for Heaven's sake. of route you'd be the most loathed individual contained in the park. easily donning a Yankee hat contained in the city of Boston isn't the brightest of strikes as a ordinary matter.
