DVD CAMERA

Has anyone got a second hand movie camera for sale?

Hi John,
Do you specifically want a DVD type?
As I have a Sony one that takes tapes!

Hi I am not sure as it needs to be digital so that I can post art lessons on U tube to go along with an E book I am writing. Need to talk to someone who knows more about this stuff. does yours record on little tapes that you then fit into a bigger one that plays on your tv etc? regards john

I will sort out the information for you later today and get it to you so you can have a browse. I am sure it is digital though!

Hi John look at Ebay very cheap this days and depends what you want. Don`t buy one with tape but digital.If you need more information come along for a drink or coffie

A Digital camera (not tapes, it'll be too fiddly and time consuming and probably expensive) which comes with a USB lead, to connect directly to your computer/laptop.

John, You could just use a good quality webcam connected to the PC unless of course you want it portable so you can carry it around with you. If you want it portable then Sue is right most digital cameras are capable of taking videos as well as stills. You'll find many even have a Youtube mode or even a Youtube sticker on the outside.

You can then use Windows Movie Maker which comes free with Windows XP and above to do the editing.

If you want to ask any questions please pm me or get my email from Mat.

Hi Two friends have offered to lend me ones to try,so many thanks for advice . Don't have a web cam,but as part of the filming will be outside painting on location it will have to be a portable one. Anyway getting there bit by bit. regards john

A 'point and shoot' digital camera with 'Movie Mode', on a tripod, would do the job! You would have to work out how much memory you would need depending on how long you want to 'film' for and use a memory card to suit.
