Cameras and Camcorders?

Question

I need to learn a little bit about them, just certain things that make a camera more expensive or better. Can you explain the different features that they have? What about zoom and such? Thanks.

Answer 1

3ccd camcorders make a better picture than 1ccd, 422 is better than 411. Zoom adjusts the lens so that things further away are brought closer. Focus makes the image crisp when adjusted properly. It's important to read on line specs and manuals before a purchase. Also Also improve your lighting google three point lighting and learn how. consider a tripod. use a good video editor with color and luminance correction. The minimum editors would be arcsoft showbiz for a PC or iMovie for a mac. Even better would be Avid or final cut pro. Consider interesting backgrounds. Try setting focus so the person is in focus and the background is not. Use complementary colors for human flesh the background should be a medium to light blue.

Hope this helps.
