I am interested in film and want a good camera to film with. My price range is 1200-1500. Thanks!
Preferably something like a Canon GL2 or some camera like that.

If I can use a camcorder? Can you tell my, where can I connect the camcorder stuff to the computer button. To get it the download my video to my computer? I have a Dell Inspiron 1200 LapTop, Where can I connect the camcorder to upload my video. Tell me , where the buttons the connect the camcorder are? Thanks


Answer
This depends on several factors.

Firstly, is your camcorder a mini-dv, hard disc or analog (very old)?

If your camecorder is mini-dv then you can connect your camecorder via "firewire" cable. One end plugs into your computer and the other end into your laptop. My Dell has a port labled "i394" which is the "firewire" port. This is where you plug the cable. If you need to buy a firewire then be careful as some are 4-pin and others are 6-pin. My Dell is Inspiron 9400 and takes a 4-pin firewire. Yours is likely to be the same too. Once connected, if you have the right capture software on your computer you can capture in "realtime".

I'm not sure how hard disc camecorders work - perhaps the same...or there might be a more of a "drag and drop" feature via USB or Firewire.

Without knowing what your camera is, I can't really be more specific in my help to you.
