valentino 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, im after a hand held video camera,....however i have ne idea what to look for,.. must be small with good quality picture,...all things i would need to edit etc infact most things a good camera would have (whatever they would be)...would also like the camera to act as digital camera to (if thats possible?) would like the camera to have a flip screen thing that you view whilst videoing, if that makes sense yes, i know its not a good description but i know feck all about technology, so need pointing in the right direction etc cheers valentino Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have just brought a samsung s 1050 less than 100 quid its got a big screen to view the pics & videos you take i am well happy with it Its 10 million pixels & has a good few settings on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav 1,708 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 No problem at all, it may be worth going round and having a look at your local electrical store, dixons, comet etc, they allways have new models on display that you can have a feel and play with (sounds dirty that ), then ya can go find a good price on the ole interweb. They can give you some good ideas when you can tell them what ya want to use it for, requirements etc. I just like the camera we have and have had no problems with and are very happy with it, we got it a couple or three years ago now though so may be some thing better out now.

poacher2225 2 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 what do you wont it for if you are going to use it out on the field you will be better of giting a cheap one of ebay and i would get a sony cos the battery's last longer i got my one on ebay for 30 pound and i had to get a new battery and it's still working the one i got from a shop was 300 pound and it fu/k'ed up after a year cos if your are using it out in the field thay get wet and dirty and it dont take long to do some damaged to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SJM Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ive got a sony handycam, great wee camcorder, easy to work with, produces good quality footage the stills from the footage are ok, not fantastic quality, but bearable. Its lightweight and easy to use Quote Link to post Share on other sites
