Best Digital Camera For Children
Will be purchasing a camcorder soon, what video camera would be best?
We will soon be having children (2) and price is really not a deterrent, so long as the value of the features for the price are worth it.
I know there are different types of cameras on the market (HD vs CCD, or digital vs. tape), but what would y’all recommend for a camera that has an easy transfer (memory stick or tape?), is not bulky, will last for awhile (use for the next few years (5 or so)), have consistent features (zoom , quality video), have good light quality? Or what features should I be interested in?
As I have a great digital camera- having a still option within the video would not be an important option.
I have had bad experiences with Canon camcorders.
I have never had a problem with Sony camcorders.
Sony’s MiniDV camcorders are very good. You will want their HC42 or 46 at the least. 92 or 96 if you can afford it. You don’t need many features if you have a decent computer for editing. Just concern yourself with resolution and optical zoom. Steady-shot is a must if you shoot without a tripod.
I like MiniDV tapes because I can get very active with my camcorder where it gets jostled around a lot (paintball games and such). If you are going to be gentle with your camcorder, you may wish to pick one up that records directly onto a DVD.
Camcorders that record onto a hard drive are too new for me to comment on.
In a nutshell these are the basic things to look for:
1. Recording format(MiniDV,DVD,HDD)
2. Resolution
3. Optical zoom
4. Image stabilization
I hope that helps.
