Camera question for Randy Wayne.
 
Anyone can reply but know Randy is into photography. We might be updating to better camera and wanted your recommendation. Don't want to go over 800 duckies. Want I can zoom from a distance.


Thanks.

This lens has quite a bit more zoom, but has zero wide angle capability for close up shots. Or rather all your close up shots will be REALLY close up with it.

If you plan on using your camera for video I would recommend the latest model in the Canon T line that just came out last week. It is the Canon Rebel T4i.

They have added auto focus for the video mode and a touch screen. All for around the same price the T3i has been selling for.

However if you do not need these added feature the T3i is an awesome camera and the price will be coming down the next few weeks / months as this new T4i replacing it is pushed. I am betting Canon will have rebates on the T3i within a month.

Does anyone make a true video camera anymore ? I mean my digital camera shoots great HD videos but the sound stinks because of the built in mic. Do they make good video cams anymore with mic input? Something to shoot like commercial videos for a church website or customer reviews for my business. Nothing Hollywood or real professional in price.

Scotty,

There are still a lot of good video cameras with mic inputs. You just have to get around the $500 mark and above to get them.

Canon, Sony, and Panasonic make the best small camcorders. I have a little four or five year old Canon HV20 that is not made any more that we use as a backup camera for our professional 3 chip Sony V1's and it does a great job.

I would suggest you check out the Canon models HF M500, HF M40, and not quite as good as those two but a little less expensive the Canon HF R32. These are all High Def camcorders that record to SD cards and a couple have a built in hard drive also. They range in price $480-$600.

If you have a bigger budget the best bang for the buck in a small camcorder is the Canon XA10 for $1999.00. It has professional XLR audio inputs on a removable handle. There is a version of this camera without the XLR inputs, the HF G10, for around $1200.

wooooo, yeah, the R32 is probably a little more in my budget range. I like the onboard hard drive option. Thanks.

Just like you would transfer pics or data, plug it in and go. Depending on the camera you may have to convert the video to a different format depending on if you want to play it or edit it and depending on the program being used. For our websites we usually convert it to flash.
