camcorders?
Mar 18, 2007 by crazykrise978 | Posted in Camcorders
I might be booming to a concert and I need a camcorder/camera that would work because my phone has poor quality pictures and my camera doesn't account sound with videos so can someone please tell me kinds of camcorders that aren't too big for concerts, but still have good quality and maybe a website or retailer to find them? It would really help me out a lot!!!
Well, customarily concerts are low-light events, which normally requires a somewhat high-end camcorder to get good grandeur in the low-light conditions. If you go with a Sony, they do have the NightShot feature built in which drastically improves low-light shots. Granted on some models it gives the reel a "green hue" so this may not be a desirable option. (Though Sony's are still a good choice in my opinion).
If it is an open-air or day concert you can pretty much use any old camcorder. Preferably something with image stabilization (optical is better than digital stabilization) and a seemly zoom (at least 10x optical) unless you're going to be right up next to the stage.
There are also various media types to reckon with. Mini DV tape, mini-DVD and hard drive are the three main types. As far as cost goes, mini-DV is the cheapest and literally offers the highest quality video, as it is compressed less than the other aforementioned media types.
As far as where to go... try http://www.bestbuy.com/ I am an hand in Best Buy's digital imaging dept. and I have people come in all the time with these questions. You'll end up getting a lot more intelligence in a shorter period of time if you go and talk to someone as opposed to reading a bunch of different sources. Even what I wrote here is hellishly basic and would only take a few minutes to explain verbally.
Good luck.

If it is an alfresco or day concert you can pretty much use any old camcorder. Preferably something with image stabilization (optical is better than digital stabilization) and a right zoom (at least 10x optical) unless you're going to be right up next to the stage.
