Camcorder Digital Camera
Should I buy an HD camcorder or a digital camera with HD video?
My friends and I want to make short films and I was look for any suggestions on any good cameras that can shoot in HD. I noticed a lot of people I know have been filming with a Canon 7D, but way too expensive. I’m looking to spend anything around $200. Iwas thinking of getting a Kodak z950. I really want to get a digital camera because the last camcorder I had was too noisy and would be noticable in our movies. Any good suggestions? I need this asap.
If you want to take high quality videos (1080p), then you need a camcorder, not just a digital camera. I have used both, trust me, there is a difference. Unless quality isn’t an issue, go for the camcorder.
A noisy camcorder would be from either 1: the tape being written on. or 2: poorly put together lenses that are loud as they focus and zoom. I can’t say I’ve ever had a noisy camcorder problem though.
Here is what I use: Kodak Zi8
It only costs $179 on Amazon.

I actually used the Sony HDR-CX110 HD (cost me $600) camcorder for a while but then returned when the quality was barely better than my little Kodak Zi8.
The Kodak Zi8 films in 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps (the second one is great for sports or filming while snowboarding).
For short films is a must have over the flip since it has an external mic input and the flip does not. This ALONE makes the Kodak Zi8 worth it. Also, it’s only $179 on Amazon. Search YouTube for videos made with the Kodak Zi8 if you want to see the quality for yourself.
