top camcorders low light image
SleepBack
i was just wondering what the best VIDEO camera i can get for around $500 that will be used in low lighting for the EDC LV rave that i am going to in june. i do not want to use a light on the camera either, just something that will be decent looking in the low light.
well i mean i am not trying to make a legitimate video trailer that has to be super clear HD. i just want my friends back home to be able to see what i went to... and i was also wondering if you can help me find something that i can get alot of footage with, as in long battery and large space, it will be 3 days long, but i obviously will not capture it all
Answer
"good video capture" under low lighting conditions = large lens diameter and large imaging chip. In my opinion, this means a lens diameter of 70mm or larger and an imaging chip of 1/3" (3CCD or 3CMOS) or larger.
There is no video camera, camcorder or still image capture device (that captures video as a convenience feature) in your price range that has these large lens systems or imaging chips.
If we start with the least expensive camcorder that does quality, that would be the Sony HDR-FX1000. It is about 6x more than your budget.
In the $500 range, the lens diameters and single imaging chips are too small to provide good low-light capture. On top of that, raves are loud. Chances are very high that the audio captured (using the camcorder auto audio gain) will be very muddy and with lots of static. Some sort of manual audio control (or "attenuator") must be used. The best I can get you is something in the Canon HF R or HF M range. Learn to use the audio control (in the manual). The video captured will be grainy.

"Handycam" is Sony's brandname for all their consumer-grade and "prosumer"camcorders. The SOny HDR-FX1000 captures low-compression DV and HDV format video to miniDV tape and captures JPEG still images to SDHC cards.
With a LARGE lens filter diameter (72mm) and LARGE 1/3" 3CMOS imaging chip array, it will do very well under low light conditions (any camcorder can do well under good lighting conditions).
With separate manual zoom and focus rings on the lens barrel, manual audio control on the OUTSIDE of the camcorder (not buried in a menu), LANC port, headphone jack and several other externally accessible controls, the biggest difference between it and a pro-series camcorder is that it has only a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) audio input (just use a XLR adapter from BeachTek or juicedLink)... and it does not do HDCAM format...
Of course, to get the video from this camcorder's digital tape into your computer, this assumes your computer has a firewire port... and you can add the optional external flash memory recorder from Sony if you don't want to use digital tape.
If you mean to include other manufacturers other than Sony, please let us know that...
