Inexpensive digital video camera?
 

I tried doing videos with my iphone and my point and shoot digital camera and the quality isnt good enough. is there anything out there thats pretty simple to use that can be used in low light setting and i can download a video file right to my computer? heres the video i shot with my iphone, i need something that can do a better job than this:

One of these is usually in my pocket: http://www.theflip.com/en-us/

Get the HD...

I bought a Flip - sent it back within 2 days. Great little camera but doesn't have internal stability. Even when I tried holding the camera steady, it was very jittery.

Make sure whatever you buy has internal stability if you want nice smooth footage. The smaller the camera - the less it weighs, the harder it is to keep it steady & smooth :thumbsup

What do you suggest?

Kodak makes a nice little HD model. My mom has one. It's easy to use and takes some nice video.

I'm picking up a new phone next week that shoots 720p video. I'm going to be dumping my Sony tape-based hd cam.

I replaced it with a Kodak Zi8 which I'm pretty happy with. I have a half/dozen different video cameras - some expensive...some not so expensive. This is a cool lil' camera to have around. For the money, I think it does an exceptional job.

Otherwise, I'd suggest dropping by an electronics store and seeing what's available within your price range :thumbsup

Yep...the Zi8 is the one my mom's got now. I know it's got image stabilization, because the first one she had didn't.

Thanks, I'll check the Kodak out.

$150 isnt bad at all for the kodak zi8. will that shoot a lot higher quality videos than the iphone? i dont know what made it not work, but if you notice theres video playing on the tv's in my video but its just all the same color unless i hold the camera in front of it and hold it steady for 5 seconds.

Yes of course....the Kodak shoots HD - the iPhone doesn't. Plus the Kodak shoots beautiful pictures too :thumbsup

Yes, Zi8 is very good camera for every pocket and actually is very cheap

goodgirl got a Sanyo Full HD Xacti VPC-HD2000 Camcorder Black 8 MP. I have used it a time or two and is easy to operate.
