Digital Video Camera Reccomendations
 

LOL I guess this is my day to ask for help and reccomendations on some things...


I am looking o get a affordable digital camera that I can take videos and slice them up into pictures from the still frames.

What camera do you reccomend for say under 1500.00 and what software do u reccomend in slciing it up into stills?

Remember tommorow we release adultsubmitter

Sony is always good, and getting a 3-chip (CCD's) camera is best if you can afford it. Also, MiniDV is the most favored format, although if you're making them just for yourself, and you're doing volume, a Digital8 camera (records on less expensive and more widely available Hi8 tape) is something to consider. Still, I'd get a MiniDV camera if MiniDV tape is easily available. You'll want some sort of anti-shake technology, too. Less shake means that more compression (smaller files) is possible.

Rather than recommend specific cameras, I just thought I'd tell you some things I'd look for the next time I buy one.

Ever wanted to have the power to see through womans clothing like a perverted Superman??? Since your buying a new cam I thought I'd let you know what I discovered the other day watching CyberCrime. Basically when Sony first introduced the "NightShot" feature in their cams people quickly found they were able to see through light clothing when this nightshot feature was used in bright light. Sony did away with the IRfilters installed on the cameras but you can still buy the filters have a little xray fun. I think the filters works best with the Sony Nightshot and Panasonic Nightvision features. Good for a New X-ray Voyeur Niche maybe??? :Graucho

Would be good for a few kicks if nothing else...

Good luck finding the right cam! :thumbsup

really nice resources I would also suggest you got opinion sites like epinion.com

Are you after a digital stills camera or a video camera from which you want to grab individual frames????

If it's a digital stills camera I recommend the Canon G2 - Fantastic camera!

A good review - and a good review site for digital cameras in general is here:

If you're after a video camera - I use a Panasonic DV 601. It only has a 680k pixel chip but takes amazing video and I use Pinnacles Studio DV and pull individual frames... to see the quality of these frame captures go to my members area of my site at:

usercode: test
passcode: test
I'll leave the codes up for a few hours.

To see the pics from my Canon G2 go to:

Same codes.

Hope this helps.....

In my opinion... for the web... you don't need a three chip!

:thumbsup

CANNON GL-1

good camera. we use 2 xl1's for all porn shoots. i have a canon optura pi for personal use - nice little camera.

NO!

The Canon G2 is the stills camera.....

The GL1 and XL1 are the video cameras!

:mad:

huh? duh.

it seems like your pictures are very grainy, is this just me, anyone else think so?

i think there was a thread a little while ago where i learnt my beloved Sony DCRVX2000 was selling for $1500 somewhere.. if you can pick on up for that price, do it.. if not, go for a GL1..

I got a Sony DCR-IP7BT, my favorite :))) Also has blue tooth built in ....CHeck it out at www.sonystyle.com
