Best digital camera with HD video?

Hayden

I'm looking for a digital camera that isn't very bulky and that can record HD video for at least two hours worth of footage. I also need it to have a spot to put in an SD memory card.
I basically am just looking for something that is great for both taking photos and shooting videos for under $300 and isn't too bulky.
Thanks!

Burning HD video from digital camera?

robertlewi

I have an HD video (.mov file) of my daughter's winter concert from this new camera (Canon t1i) and Windows 7 only accepts .avi files and other windows related files. How can I burn this 1080p HD .mov file to dvd and keep the quality? Thanks.

Answer
While you can only edit certain video files using a Windows platform, you can burn the .MOV file to a DVD or CD (depending upon how large it is)

Here is something that may help you though.

This is one program you can buy.

What is a good digital camera that takes HD video AND photos?

Starfish

I want a camera that will be awesome to film with and awesome to take still photos with.

I know there's EOS 5D Mark II, but what else is there?

Answer
There is the Nikon D5000, Canon EOS 500D, and the Pentax K-x.

Here is quick price estimate:
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $650
Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) 15MP DSLR w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens - $769
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom - $550

The 1st link is to a web page that has these 3 DSLR cameras listed so that you can compare features and spec but also there are links for each of these cameras to review pages that include sample images.

I am a Nikon user, but if I were buying one of these cameras right now, it would be the Pentax K-x. I have been reading it up on this camera and I have come across some impressive information. Below I included some links, the photo.net link is to a forum where a photograper posted some black & white images shot at some high ISOs (6400 ISO, 10000 ISO, and 1250 ISO) and they look great. The reviews are good and to me the video I have seen on youtube looks good.

Hope this helps.

How do I change the video settings on a canon camera?

best canon digital camera with hd video image

jessicaban

I have a SD 1400 IS canon camera, and it has HD video which takes up a lot of space. Is there any way to change the settings for that so it's not as big a file so it doesn't take up as much space?

Answer
Sure you can do that - read your manual.

However be aware if you allow less space your quality will be in the tank and look like an old, cheap digital camera recording 640. High quality, more space, simple as that.

My suggestion would be to buy more and larger cards.

Will my normal camera do or should I buy a video camcorder?

Barney

Thanks for reading :)

I'd like to start making videos for YouTube and become a YouTuber. I already have a normal digital camera which shoots HD video, and it seems good quality, but I was wondering if I should consider buying a camcorder? Can you recommend whether they're worth the price?

If I keep my current camera all I need to do is buy a tripod... Yey! :P

Answer
I think you should buy Canon VIXIA HF M30 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder
* Records up to 3 hours of crisp high definition video to an 8GB internal flash drive or directly to removable SD memory cards
* Genuine Canon 15x HD Video Lens delivers unsurpassed image quality
* Canon 3.89-Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution
* Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor provides the ultimate in color and imaging performance
* Dynamic SuperRange OIS corrects a full range of motion

What computer model can handle the HD videos of an SLR camera?

best canon digital camera with hd video image

Nayak

At the moment I have a four-year old HP laptop, windows vista and it cannot handle the HD videos from my canon t3i digital SLR camera. Should I invest in a new computer or is there a way I can upgrade my HP to handle the videos?

Answer
You will need a fast CPU and as much RAM as you can find, 8 gb or better with one fast 1 tb or better hard drive for compiling the final edit of your video.

Here is a link to some "turn-key" video editing computers which usually include one of the most popular video editing programs.

If you get further into building a video production company, you may need to add a RAID storage tower, some DVD Blu-Ray authoring software and some encoding software.
