Answer
HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.

DSLR Cameras, all Makes, all Models, all have the same problem when video taping some long videos, all overheat at the 13 to 18 minute mark, depending on the Make and Model. This is unavoidable, it all has to with the fact, video is an afterthought in DSLR camera production.

Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video

What camcorders do you recommend?




Mario Cord


I need a camcorder that has a shoe mount on top but also a mic-in jack. I want a smaller camera though (like a handycam). Not looking for anything too expensive though. I'm looking on ebay but I'm not sure what to look for. My budget is about 150 for a used item.

Cheapest camcorders with different lens support and shoe mount?




Bob


My friend is looking for a camcorder with a small budget that fits the above.
Help asap pls



Answer
ANY camcorder that has a "Lens Filter Diameter" specification will have threads at the lens to add a screw-on filter or tele-lens or wide-angle lens.

For example, go to www.canon.com and check the camcorders specific to your country. In the US, the HF R10 "Filter Diameter" says "None". Generally speaking, this means a filter or lens cannot be securely added (without other modification). But the HF21 shows a filter diameter of 37mm and you will find add-on lenses with that same measurement which can be used on that camcorder. And the HF R21 shows a filter diameter of 34mm... You will find similar information at Sony, Panasonic and JVC sites for their different camcorders.

As for an accessory shoe, most consumer grade cams are just not coming with these anymore. So... add one. For example, at amazon, search "camera bracket". The angled Adorama camera bracket is useful because it has two cold-shoes and the angle is a nice hand-hold for two-handed (steadier) shooting. In the bottom of the camera mounting screw, there is another hole that allows mounting to a tripod quick release plate so you lose no tripod capability...

Camcorder Lens Sizes?




Mike Antho


what's the differences??? and is there a favorite size for most people???
and are most of them wide-angle???



Answer
Less than 37mm: typically in "pocket" camcorders like those from Flip.
37mm: Entry level consumer-grade.
40mm: Higher-end consumer grade.
43mm: even higher end consumer grade or low-end prosumer
72mm: high end prosumer or low-mid range pro.

There is no "favorite size" - anything less than prosumer is not "interchangable". There are add-ons (threaded are best) for telemacro, wide-angle and tele lenses. Most low-end camcorders do not have threads to accept different lens accessories - whther filters, lenses or whatever. Depensing on the camcorder designe, a rubber gasket sceme to attach lens add-ons might be possible.

Larger camcorder lens diameter = more light allowed to get to the imaging chip(s). Presuming the imaging chip array is balanced well with the camcorder, this will control the low-light video capture behavior.
Small lens + small imaging chip = poor low light behavior. As the lens and imaging chip get larger, low light behaviro improves and the camcorder get more expensive. Good glass for lenses and large imaging chips (CMOS or CCD) are expensive.

How do you clean a camcorder lens if it gets dirty with a finger print?




mohammed12


Well, my camcorder has accidently got a finger print and it smudges up the videos i take. I hear you need a special type of cloth with which to clean. can someone help me out?


Answer
you can use any type of cloth thats made for glasses (like those microfiber ones). tissue paper works well too (not tissues, tissue paper), thats what we always used in photo class for our cameras
