Anyone know of any good video camera to buy for cheap?

Question

I needs a small handy cheap video camera. It has to be able to take good videos indoors in low light. I would really like to buy one for $150 or less. Anyone have any sugestions?

Answer 1

If you are looking for an inexpensive , FULL FUNCTION camcorder go with the Canon ZR850 ($182.00 - $299.00). It’s pretty compact and Mini DV, you can pop in tape after tape, record what you want, then convert to DVD, or play on you TV via AV cables.

Video cameras and low light are a tough combination, things get very grainy in low light, especially if "cheap" is an operative word.  

I have a Canon video camera, it works great and is fairly easy to change over to DVD through the computer and very affordable.  

"Canon's new MiniDV top model, the ZR850, continues the ZR tradition of offering affordable, easy-to-use wide-screen movie-making...."

For the most part, it's a great entry level camcorder.

Answer 2

might i suggest the Aiptek 720P HD Camcorder Media Player Recorder. I got mine at Target for only $150 and  it does everything! I wont lie to you, the sound is not the best but it does great for the price and has ports for an external. For the price I dont think you will find a better camcorder.

And it records on SD so no hassle with tapes! her are a few specs:

• Digital Camcorder For MPEG 4 Works with Secure Digital Memory Card

• 3x Optical Zoom

• 5MP CCD Video Resolution ; 8.0 Megapixel Digital Still

• 2.4" LCD Monitor

• Display Features Color TFT LCD Display, 1280 x 720 Resolution

• Features 1/4" CMOS Image Sensor

Answer 3

the flip camcorder.

the flip is simple- on, off, record, stop, play, pause, trash. there are two versions- the 150$ one has 30 minutes of video until you upload it and the 180$ has an hour of video. it has excellent resolution, even if there are limited zoom options.

The Flip, it's around $150 and it comes in colors like magenta, orange, lime, white, black. But the color depends on the price. You can get them cheap at Walmart.

and also, the memory space of video is 30 min. and 60 min. that also depends the price. You can go to this source that i marked below.
