Answer
You may want the Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016BXRB6?ie=UTF8&tag=motionpicturecentral-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0016BXRB6 or the RCA "Traveler" Small Wonder EZ210 Digital Camcorder with 4 Hour Recording and 2GB Included SD Memory http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014CUY7W?ie=UTF8&tag=motionpicturecentral-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0014CUY7W .

Both of these cameras come with software for managing your videos, are ready to connect directly to USB, and include cables to connect to a TV. The Flip Mino's software includes a specific option to upload the videos directly to YouTube, MySpace, and AOL Video. The RCA Small Wonder has a
an expansion slot for SD memory cards to expand your recording storage capacity.

With a camcorder, would I be able to record videos and than download them onto the internet?


Answer
The short answer is, yes.

The ease of this depends on what kind of camcorder you have. Analog formats such as VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, and Hi8 require extra equipment to convert the video to a digital format.

Digital formats such as MiniDV, Digital-8, DVD, and hard drives are easier. DVD and hard drives use video formats that are not as widely compatible with editing programs, and the video uses a different compression standard to make the files smaller, therefore sacrificing some quality. MiniDV is the highest-quality format of those I listed above.

In most cases with digital camcorders, be aware that your computer will need a Firewire (IEEE 1394) port to connect to the camcorder. USB does not necessarily work; in fact, in many cases, it just doesn't. So, if you have a Firewire port (4-pin OR 6-pin), you're fine. If not, you'll likely have to purchase and install a Firewire card on your computer, which isn't a very expensive venture these days anyway. Still, make sure you have the hardware to match up with your camcorder.

My recommendation if you like to edit is to go with MiniDV; it might take a little longer to get it onto your computer, and the file sizes may be bigger, and you need a Firewire port, but the quality is very good, it's compatible with just about every editing program out there, and tape is cheap and small.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
