Just wanted to see how you guys do it. With the new cameras that take videos these days, I was wondering how many of you use a camera to take a video vs. an actual camcorder?

I just want to try to use the one that is going to capture the sound well enough to post a sound clip.

So what are you guys using?

If you're just walking around the outside of the car, then most any camcorder will work. If you're doing in car videos then you need a mini dv - not a dvd or hard drive camera, you need the electronic image stabilization - not the optical image stabilization, and the ability to plug in an external microphone will enhance the audio immensely. I use a Panasonic GS-180 but there are probably several others that fit this criteria.

Yea I figured most of you guys were using camcorders for most of your needs... looks like I am going to have to invest in one.

You guys use any of the still pictures from the camcorders or you have a camera for that kind of stuff?

When I transfer the video to my computer I can capture pictures if I choose to need them.

Get a good editing program and you can do about anything with your videos.

Good luck,

Beebs
