anyonw here knows anything aobut digital camcorders?
 

yeah man, something for a documentary. Anyone know anything about em?

i know some stuff

what you need to know?

....i kno sum shit....*waits for you to explain*

well, I'm looking for something to do a small documentary, but I'm not looking for laser clarity or sound-studio audio crispness. Just something that'll produce a "pretty good" result after the editing process. Kinda vague I know, but what should I look for?

LMAO

EXACTLY the same thing I was thinkin


My father owns a his own video bizz and uses digi camcorders


but...this is dooms so...

fuck him

I took two years of film school.

I think I know a bit.. but you dont care TOO much about quality, so just go to the local Future Shop or w/e electronic store you have an jus look for a 3-Chip Digi Cam... Mini DV format is the easiest to edit, also depends what program you are usin to edit.

oh man Q, it's a shame, you almost saved my day! lol, I already got an answer to this elsewhere. Go sit in your dad's lap and give him one of your STD's. :thumbup:

Depends on your budget, the new 24P just came out an its the most beautiful camera Ive ever had the privaledge of filming with.

dooms, it really depends on your price range...
camcorders usually vary, they're either a lot, or a little....

but theres a couple ones you can get for around $700 that have good quality, i just cant remember the names

cannon and sony are nice though...

yeah, I got word fomr a friend of mien that essentialyl said the smae thing. He reccomended some cameras that are around 700 as well, but after conferring with the others involved in this we decided jsut to hire out some post-grads that already own the shit. Thanks though man.
