How do u use a camera .?

Question

some of my friends and i are gonna make a webshow and we are wondering if you could use a video camera and then put the video on the computer online and then move it to youtube or something .

Answer 1

If you mean a digital camcorder that records to tape, yes but there's a lot of work involved. You need to right equipment, if not provided, to digitize and recompress the videos.

If you mean a digital camcorder that records to DVD, hard drive, SSD, or memory card there's no need to digitize but you'll still need to recompress your videos.

If you want to take the simple route and don't plan on taking anything serious (making a broadcast studio-quality show) for more than an hour at a time, invest in a cheap camcorder that records to memory cards (Flip, Creative's Vado, Sanyo's Xacti, etc.) or use a digital camera that can take videos with sound. You'll lose out on some quality and zoom in some cases but they're ideal for light work on a budget.
