Camcorders

Hello - I'm new to this forum and was looking for advice on a camcorder that I could use to start shooting my daughters soccer's games with out breaking the bank or putting me in the dog house by my wife. My daughter is a goalie so most of the shots would be from side in-line with her. I'm...

Not so much a question as sharing a solution. My Panasonic SD700 camcorder suddenly starting to shut down every time after about ten seconds of operation. A search of other forums showed that others had a similar problem, but no solutions other than an expensive repair job. A closer look at the...

Hi folks, I've been looking for nearly a month now for a proper answer. I want to connect my JVC GZ-R315 to my computer. I use Bandicam to record my studio microphone and my video footage. Now I know bandicam has an option to use a webcam together with audio and video footage. This saves me a...

So... Thanks to your help in my first question I have narrowed the field greatly. Yet I still need some advice. So I'm looking at cameras/camcorders to use for short films, skits ect. I would like to have a DSLR but if there is a camcorder that well exceeds the quality of video from the DSLR's...

I've been wanting to do this for years now..I make a lot of videos and I'm getting tired of using a shitty webcam. I really want to buy a 60 fps full hd camcorder and put it on a flexi arm and use that as a replacement for my webcam, how would I go about doing this? I've been thinking of...

Hey all, So I have been looking at professional video cameras and I have started to slow down around the BlackMagic URSA Mini 4K. I really like the look of this camera. It's not stupidly expensive and it seems to cover what I want. But does anyone have any experience with using this camera and...

Can I use my HD camcorder to livestream thru Youtube if so how do I hook it up?

Long story short: I'm a young filmmaker who's been using a Sony camcorder and a GoPro to make videos. The camcorder is pretty crappy, so time for an upgrade. I have a budget of about $650 (not including tax). I plan on using the money to buy a new camera, a microphone, and an SD card. For the...

Hi there, I have an old analog Samsung Hi8 camcorder with a plethora of tapes that I'd like to digitize. I bought this TOTMC USB device and while it does capture the audio and video, both stutter when I record. I've tried on multiple computers (Windows 7, 8, 10) and it always occurs. Would love...

I want to start doing daily vlogs and occasional skits for my YouTube channel. With vlogging I would be recording my daily activities and things I do (Example). I know $500 DSLRs aren't the best for video, but I have seen a lot of YouTubers use a T5i with a RODE videomic go or Canon G7X. After...

I'm not really sure where to post this, was debating between this section and windows 10. But I'll post here. I recently found my old camcorder, circa 2005, Panasonic PV-GS14, with some memorable footage. I want to transfer the footage on the Mini-dv tape to my PC using a firewire. My laptop...

So I have been taking very good care of this camcorder for the past couple of years now. I have never once dropped it, or even hit it hard for that matter. However today I decided to take my camcorder out of his safely compact bag, but it would not turn on. Thinking the battery was out of...

Hi Everyone, I bought the Canon Vixia R600 camcorder for a little studio i'm creating. I had high expectations about this camcorder, but i'm feeling a little disappointed. The recordings are in low quality, poor colors and the video is grainy, even in 1080P. I don't know how to explain...

While I was importing video files into Final Cut Pro my camcorder ejected (it does this sometimes if I move the cord ever so slightly) A message told me one of my clips did not import. Now, no matter how many times I try to re-import that clip it won't import into FCPX. I tried saving it to my...

Can I use an HDMI digital converter / PVR to digitize old VCR and camcorder tapes via the VCR RF-out? Backstory: I just got a Mediasonic Homeworx 180STB HDMI box so that I can drop cable TV, pick up OTA broadcasts, and digitize / store them with its USB drive recording feature. It looks like...
