Hi friends,
While I dabble a lot in Still photography and DVD recorders/High Def Satelite and TV etc I have yet to add 'camcording' to my bow
I know next to nothing about them and the only 'prod' I have taken into video recording is using my Fuji F810 digicam's video feature. I find this next to useless though as I would LIKE to do High Definition video recording.
When I have the recordings I would then like to transfer to PC and do just a little bit of editing, not a lot, just to maybe cut bits out. Sound is NOT a prime feature, being deaf myself, but best quality video is. I would then like to create DVD disks in HD if possible, or good quality SD will do as I can retain the HD original file on the PC for future use. Hope I am making sense and not showing too much of my stupidity and ignorance on this subject.
So my question first, is what Camcorder should I be looking at? I have great faith in Panasonic as a brand name as I have lots of Panny stuff which are very reliable and give good quality results.
So what cam should I be looking at? Ideally small, as I also want to record my car journey's. And with a HDMI output so I an initially play them back on the Panny HD Plasma.
My budget would be pretty low, say £500 to £700 at a stretch.
Maybe this would not obtain a good one?
Any advice would be gratefully received, Thanks.
Barry.
