hey guys is this a good camera http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826237019&skuId=5403422&type=product cause im looking for one about that price and my parents said they aint gona pay more than 100

Thats more of a shitty digital camera than a video camera. It shoots video at 10 FPS which will look like shit. Don't buy it. Save your money and get something which you wont be tired of in 10 minutes.

lol 10 fps, imagine filming someone like kareem on that.

Just saying i had that camera, don't buy it, when you first buy it you can only film for 2 mins but when u hav a flash card you can film for 1 hour but also you don't get the flash card with it, the quality is crap, save up get a good camera.

Dude... the Canon EOS1V-HS (A pro 35mm SLR) shoots at 10 FPS on 35mm film... in other words... this is a digital camera that shoots in a movie mode that sucks even more than an actual film camera. AHA!!

[skater68]

so whats a decent camera for at least 150 or a little more thats good?

[mikejl29]

You won't find one... that's your answer.

If I were you I would get a job of some sort and save up about $400 or more and go for a Sony DCR-TRV18 used from eBay. That should get you well setup. It's got just about anything you will need for your videos.

I had that thing but it sucked so much ass that i returned it. If your tight on cash your best bet is go to Best Buy and buy a camera that pre-opened. I got a $500 minidv camera for about $300 because there was one little pixel not working on the LCD monitor.

Another reason not to get those cameras is the LCD monitor breaks so easily, and it falls apart completely if you vaguelly drop it

Yah, don't buy that aiptek camera it is bad.

[sugar muppet]

dude, check ebay, i got 2 video cameras, 4 tapes, 4 batteries, a bag and a tripod for £80 (altogether)

then £20 for a fisheye...

so £100 for a half decent load of gear
