as for brand, jvc is nice, I have panasonic
you will need a firewire card and your in buisness as far as hooking it up to your pc, my complaint is no light or even a hotshoe for adding a light later
I'm just pickey

Ok I just found THIS (http://www.canondv.com/zr60/zr60_flash.html) digital video camcorder and THIS (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2161951&cat=4549&type=19&dept=3944&path=0%3A3944%3A3946%3A124347) digital video camcorder and I was wondering what was the best one to get out of these 2 and the one minchend above?


Thanks?

.Link Digital Input/Output (IEEE 1394 compliant) DV in/out.

in case you dont know what that mean, it can hook up to your firewire port

[Triadcool]

Mr.Elmo which digital video camcorder do you think is the better one out of the 3?

[freak]

I would go with the first one you posted... I've always liked jvc and they make great camcorders... i used to have 5 jvc mini dv cams but now i only have one.i got rid of the other....
5 finger discount ;)

[Mr. Elmo]

wait, 3? i only saw one model on the link you gave on your first post....wheres the other 2?

oh nm, saw the other 2 link...i would go w/ cannon becuz i can trust them...i dotn know about jvc....and the cannon is more stylish :D

[freak]

i think the cannon one looks gay IMO lol... but hey to all there own :lol:

[Triadcool]

Anybody elses opinions?

[muchspl2]

I'm thinking of selling mine I have a panasonic if anyone is interested, its a pvdv900 very nice and I'll throw in a fire wire card and cable
pm me if you want to talk about it as i don't want to break any rules

[Mr. Elmo]

i think this (http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1325948&web_id=1325948&sz=0&sf=ec&dept=ec0009&cat=ec0011&subcat=&gs=&attr=&prev=hp!sf!dept!cat) is teh same jvc camcorder....you can have 4 payment thought

[Mr. Elmo]

found this (http://www.shopathometv.com/shopathome/network/product/productDetail.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1714486928.1072739381@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadckfjmdkklcefeceeedffkdgjf.0&n=0&OID=52315) whle watching the shopping channel....its tiny and about just as good as the ohter one

[muchspl2]

no it isn't at first glance the one @ walmart is better as it has a light, probably more but I wouldn't recommend anyone buy from a shop@home type place

[Mr. Elmo]

y not? i bough a digital camera from there a few months ago and its fine...actually its really good....i rather buy form a shop@home channel then from someone i only know from the internet

[muchspl2]

I'll probably end up putting it on ebay
but I buy and sell stuff all the time on ebay, its safe if your not stupid, you go by feedback etc
but whatever floats your boat as what you think is quality, they are not going to have the top of the line in electronics and its sad when walmart beats them in quality
if you want good online stores look @ resellerrateings and mysimion
eleventy billion times better than any @home but what do I know I only managed several electronics stores over the years :rolleyes:

[freak]

I think you need to choose your own cam... it depends what your going to use it for. but i do know that the jvc mini dv i have is good for dark situations..... Just look at the options and decide which is best for you!

[Triadcool]

Ok this is the last camcorder im going to ask about. IsTHIS (http://www.topiashop.com/buy-item_id-B000087BV9-search_type-AsinSearch.html) digital camcorder any better than the ones I minchend earlier? Thanks?

Anybody? Its my last question?

[muchspl2]

mini dv is more of the standard than sony's digital 8

[Triadcool]

Ok Thanks. The reason I was going with the digital video camcorders I asked on here about is because I have $450 to spend and half of that is in Walmart gift cards and the ones I minched hear are the only good ones that walmart has for my price range. Thanks

[muchspl2]

make sure you get a firewire card and a fire wire cable

[Triadcool]

If I dont have a fire wire card for the canon video camcorder can I still transfer my video to my computer?

[muchspl2]

dude thats a must have for the camcorder
you have to buy the card seperatly at around 40.00 and a firewire cabel (if the camera doesn't come with one)

theres usually a usb port beside the firewire port.

[Triadcool]

ok thanks. I gues ill have to get THIS (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?cat=3951&dept=3944&product_id=2188129&path=0%3A3944%3A3951%3A4463) firewire card. Its the cheapest walmart has.

[Triadcool]

I have a question. In the specifications HERE (http://www.canondv.com/zr60/f_av_in_out.html) it says something about s-video. Can I transfer my video from the camcorder to my computer threw the s-video (My videocard has a s-video slot) untill I get a firewire card?

[muchspl2]

no thats most likely a output not a input
and this is the card I have http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...3A3951%3A122788 (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?cat=3951&dept=3944&product_id=908063&path=0%3A3944%3A3951%3A122788)
IIRC I paid 40.00 for it but it must have been more as its so much here @ teh wally world
