good looks neal, riding today was fun :D

 

..............

 

neal...or anyone, do you think this is agood camera? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1215217076309

 

personally I dont think so because when it records at 5mp its at the size of that screen not the actual size of anything that could be viewable very well and if you resize it, it never looks good.

 

What's great about it: Light weight
What's not so great: Bad image quality , picky about cables, everything else

"You get what you pay for. Luckily I got this on sale for under 100 so I can't complain too much. My kids will wind up enjoying making outdoors videos for the web with it maybe, but I wanted to use it to supplement my still images with some video of their school functions, etc.
The image quality starts out bad in bright light and gets worse as it gets darker. Anything that moves will wind up tearing in a lot of cases.
I understand the difference between optical and digital zoom, and that this only has digital, but it is terrible. I have taken videos with my compact still camera at 640x480 using the digital zoom and they were 100 times better than this one.
This thing will not charge off any cable I have except the one that came with it. Since all cables look alike it becomes a guessing game to get the right one. Thankfully it came with a wall charger or it would never get charged.
Sound capture quality is bad. Everything is either loud and distorted, or almost completely devoid of sound. There is almost no middle ground. Luckily, outside you don't have to deal with that as any wind will just block out all sound with a constant hiss and rumble.
I did have to give it 3 on ease of use since it is pretty much just a couple of buttons and very few settings."

 

i wouldnt suggest getn that cam either

 

u sacrifice quality of images for the physical appearance

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaa had mad fun today trix and mike m blockssssssssssssss

 

CHINO FOR PRESIDENT lol

 

Wassup any other NY ***** going to King of the south besides myself?

 

thanks guys. i'm looking for something cheap (less than $200) but something that could be good enough to last for 4-5 years until i can afford to buy a really nice one. any suggestions?

 

no ride, no money lol but if both of those were in succession I would be there

 

if you were going to get a video camera save a little more and you can get a nice one with a hard drive for around 350

o wait i looked at the reviews and they were garbage hhahaha so just look around lol

 

yooooooooooo neal call me bitch....lol

 

Any cams recording to internal HDs use that horrible AVCHD format or whatever, which is very processor intensive to decode (and not supported natively by a lot of editing programs).

Becky, try to find a used HV20/HV30. They are a really good bang for the buck and are renowned for such.
