Digital Camcorders

[MorpheusGPR]

What digital camcorders are you guys using? If I buy one I deff want it to be easy to use with good picture quality and workable at night. Also needs to have the still picture usefulness too.

Any ideas? Online sales cheap?

Thanks

this is what i use..

i have a few clips & pics in my sig..

my advice: look at all the models & figure out what features you need, then go from there.

for prices, go to :
www.pricewatch.com
www.pricegrabber.com
http://www.pricescan.com

just do a search.. you should find a lot.

hope this helps.

I've got the same one. Haven't really used it though, just got it for Christmas. I paid $670 on the net.

Thanks for the response guys.

Clontek,

Can the pics you have in the links be made larger and if so does the quality stay as good?

Nice videos, now I now whos silver L I downloaded off of "morpheus" doing the burn out

Got the same Sony model as those guys. Seems to work well for general purpose stuff around the house. But I'm no professional photo geek or anything...

IMHO, for a typical non-photo geek, it's a decent bang for the buck.

Sounds like a popular model....!

How easy is it to tape video and put it on the computer or store it in some kind of media? zip disk? something?

photos?

can I get a link to those websites with it at 6xx? I did some searching and came up with 7xx price wise.

Morpheus: when you download the pics from the camera, to your computer they are huge! (1152X864) the online photo galleries on f150online.com resizes your pic for use on the web.. so the pics you see are like 1/3 to 1/4 size!

yah, thats my lightning. (and my melted F1's) LOL

to record video from the camera to your pc, you'll need a IEEE 1394 "firewire" card.. its kinda like USB, but a lot faster (laymans terms hehe)
you can get a firewire card at best buy, circuit city, and online also. you can even find them at wallyworld! (walmart)

the firewire card will most likely come with software that will let you download and edit video. you might even find a copy of adobe premiere 6.0 laying about..
