Best Video Recorder?

Question

For youtube??? i dont really care about the looks just something cheap.... if you could find me pics and prices that would be awesome..... 10 points guranteed for the most helpful answer

Answer 1

most video cams will do a better job than what you tube needs.

you tube has a resolution of 320 x 240 whereas most consumer cams are 720 x 576 (PAL) and 720 x 480 (NTSC) so it's roughly twice as good as you need.

most of these types of cams will start at around $150 (US) and go sky-high depending on features.

some tips for best cam for the money -

mini dv.

3 ccd if possible

external mic input (this is important)

if you stick to these features you can pretty much buy any cam as long as it has firewire output. (make sure your pc has a firewire card - mac is built in for this)

brand names to look for include:

sony, jvc and canon.

runners up

samsung, hitachi etc.
