Camera suggestions, please?

Question

Well my friend and I have recently begun filming a short video series for YouTube. I used my parents' digital camera, and it works really great, but I want one of my own. Does anyone know of a good video camera that is inexpensive? It needs to be able to fit on a tripod, and it has to be able to zoom in on something WHILE filming.

Answer 1

You can always go for Sony Handycam if you dont matter resolution much. I have tested and it works really great. It has even got Touchscreen with 800X digital Zoom and many more features! Just give it a try!

Answer 2

canon hv20 was consumer / semi amateur camcorder of the year for 2007. i have it. its great. it'll run you around 600$ though. but idk maybe you don't need a camera that good. its really good, like indie film makers shoot some shots on these cameras

Answer 3

Answer 5
