If a ghost manifests itself and is visible to the human eye then it can be recorded with *any* video camera. Then it just comes down to the degree of resolution and format that you want.

I prefer the Sony Camcorders because they have infrared capabilities (for night work).
A fairly inexpensive filter can be added to shoot only infrared.
Ultra Violet Pass Filters (allowing in only ultraviolet light) are expensive but this spectrum of light is usually ignored.
I use tape (DVR) because digital cameras with editing software is so easy to alter that it's useless as evidence. One time use mini DVD's might be OK but no one will accept it (just like film) without looking at the original.

If you want good ghost movies, get a VHS-C camera with low resolution and poor night vision. Then you can use your imagination about things.
If you want a really good quality camera, check out the Canon GL1 or Canon XL1. These are slightly older, proline camera. If you fish around you will be able to get one on ebay or amazon for under $1000. The 3CCD feature ensures superior color capture.
You don't need night vision.
If you are investigating places in the dark, you are looking for bad footage that allows you to use your imagination.
However, canon optura offers decent night vision.
I probably sound like im selling canons, but I have had a lot of luck with canon camcorders.

Most are pretty affordable and will do what you want them to do. I think alot it has to do with what you want to do with the camera. If you want to do night shots, a camera with 0 lux capabilites is the route you want to go. Truly, it is a matter of where you buy, the same camera at Wal mart might not cost as much as one at your local camera shop.

First, attempt to get permission, for the reason this is whilst human beings get caught in cemeteries, it supplies the rest human beings a bad rap because of fact then human beings think of all of us do this, and that we are in there for malicious reasons. 2d, for a cemetery, map it out first earlier you bypass in, because of fact in case you do no longer are conscious of it nicely adequate, you ought to fall in an open grave, which happens to be a great 6 foot drop, so be careful. deliver lots of batteries, and once you think of you acquire adequate, get some greater. A disposable digital camera is nice adequate for an analyze of this nature. Flashlight is a would desire to, in case you have an emf meter, use it, besides as a compass, it could back up something that your emf meter would...or won't study. A voice recorder of a few variety will additionally suffice, and in case you have one, get an old radio that makes use of batteries, turn it to an old radio station that don't are available and use that as white noise. The ghosts allegedly use the the potential to happen. maximum of all, deliver somebody with you, no longer in basic terms for secure practices yet to help make certain or supply a rational clarification for something which you observed/think of you observed. especially, don't get CUAGHT AND ARRESTED. can not rigidity it adequate, reasons all of us is slowly banning instigations from cemeteries and locking them greater at night is via human beings breaking in them and doing harm or being in there whilst they are no longer meant to. There are some great places that don't even want paranormal researchers even in there in any respect because of fact of issues that youngsters or reckless human beings have finished. Is the placement even haunted? Is there reasons which you quite want to bypass in there, different than the undeniable fact that this is a cemetery and it looks haunted? locate those issues out because of fact going to detention center for a wild ghost chase isn't nicely worth it. it ought to perpetually wreck your popularity as a great ghost researcher and end human beings from even letting you or a team which you would be in sometime from even getting places because of fact they'd undergo in concepts you from the police report from city newspaper.
