camera/camcorder

[Vincent]

I'm looking to buy a camera, so I can shoot video and post it on my site. Does anyone know any good brand that you can recommend?

Thanks.

i picked up one of these recently and have been very happy with it

its a pretty good bang for the buck, and really easy to use, i pulled it out of the box and was filming in a couple minutes without reading any instructions

Your link doesn't work.

What do you guys think about Sony HDR-XR500V, 120GB High Definition HDD Handycam Camcorder ?

If you're looking for something simple, cheap, yet good for the money go for an Flip.

They're all under $200, have built in USB and the video quality is great for the price.

I've haven't heard of Flip. But it looks cool, small, as i see it on internet search.

i'm looking for just picture and video recording for websites. I'll also do you tube video too.

The Flip is perfect. We use it all the time, here are a bunch of videos taken with the Flip:

The only one not taken with it was the first one (Finnish Spitz puppies) where they're inside. All the others (including the one with Dazy playing) were all with the Flip.

It automatically saves them as .AVI files and when you connect it to your PC it acts like an external drive - just drag and drop and you're ready to go (no converting needed etc..).

Best Buy sells them so you can check them out in the store nearest you:

The one we have is not the HD or the Ultra II (it was out last year and was phased out earlier this year).

thank you dragger for the video demos. flip is a good deal.

[draggar]

i wonder if you're using Flip, if you have any demo of video on any site.
Thanks for the help.

*lol* Look at my post just above yours - all the YouTube videos except the "Finnish Spitz puppies" video 9the first one with the yellowish tint - I took that one with my HP R818 camera).

[Vincent]

dragger, you responded so fast, before i even requested. thanks for the super fast respond. you read my mind. dragger's a psychic. watch out hehe.

he answers question before it's asked. I call you a super help.

i see dragger loves dog. that must be you in the video.

[draggar]

I'm only in a couple of the videos.
