Handheld camcorder advice?
Hey folks looking for something to do video with easily at a reasonable price.
Obviously you want good quality but that really isn't the most important thing. I need something I can carry around and can flip on to use really easily at a game or something of that nature. Form factor for holding it in my hand has to be decent. I used to use the video function Canon Powershot and that did a decent job. I guess I am just looking for something in the era of the Flip video camera being dead. Any thoughts? |

What kind of resolution do you need when shooting the anal scenes?

Why is the Flip video camera dead and why is a phone insufficient for your "no requirements" needs?

OK, fair enough. I just wondered because, coincidentally, I got my old Flip camera out today to charge for a trip I'm taking. And the newest iPhones/iPads take really good videos. I didn't think about the sound quality though.

Agree about the quality of those...my personal phone is great for me but lacks that quality and I would feel silly getting another phone when I can get something else that does a decent dedicated job.

I've used several purpose-built video recorders and they pretty much all suck.
Some of them use proprietary software or modified formats so that getting them onto a computer and editing them is a pain in the ass. If you find one that is good at that, the image quality is poor. It's just a big crap shoot, honestly. My daughter's Flip camera is awesome but as you said, can't really buy them anymore. |
