Video Camera
June 28th, 2010
What is the best video camera to take video of a screen?
I’d like to start taking videos of me playing video games and I’d like to know what the best quality camera to get so as to have the best quality videos(i.e. no fuzzy lines or anything) and also at an affordable price.
Camcorders which use Mini Digital Video tapes (popularly called mini DV) are the best. Such camcorder records digital video on tape. A Mini DV camcorder captures video in what is known as Real Time format and thereby stores more detail than camcorders which uses DVD, flash memory and hard disc.
Videos shot from cameras other than that which uses tape/Mini DV, are not meant for editing. As such they don’t help in making videos worth keeping for future.
Besides, getting familiar with tapes also helps in going professional as all professional cameras use tapes, not DVD or hard disc or flash memory.
Personally, I’m using a Sony HDR HC9E for making semi-professional videos.
Sony HDR HC9E which is HD is a simi professional camera and it is moderately priced.
My other camera is Sony DCR HC27. Its really a cheap one which shoots great video.
You can go for the latest Sony camcorders which has the series “DCR HC__”.
The DCR HC__ series are real cheap yet captures great Video that even TV stations accepts footages taken by this mini DV cam.
You may view the rusult of this cam at my youtube page:
