What is the best camcorder to take ghost hunting?

Q. Ok so i need to know what is the best cam camcorder to take ghost hunting. I need one that has night vision and infrared. Also if there is anything else that can help me at night like another light to put on top of my cam corder. Where can i buy these cam corders and accessories. To take Ghost hunting.

A. There are very many different types and brands of video recording devices and camcorders you can invest in. Finding one is not that hard and you do not have to spend a whole lot of cash to get one to suit your needs. The higher end video cameras are not cheap. The Infrared and "FLIR" Forward Looking Infrared cameras are upwards of $1,200.00 and unless you can fork out that much it really is not necessary to buy one. There are types and brands that have night vision features and settings you can acquire for around the $300.00 range. Best Buy is a great place to go and test these cameras out. You can have a store clerk assist you and you can also compare between them. Any camera, digital and film , is capable of capturing activity. As long as you are recoding and have it on a setting that is appropriate for the environment you are just as likely to get it with an inexpensive camera than with a higher end one. I've upgraded to a Digital SLR Nikon D 60 (still) but actually have captured more activity on my Kodak easy share. Its more being in the right place at the right time with what ever you have at the time not necessarily the best equipment. Happy hunting.


What is the best camcorder $300 and under for low light lov budget film?
Q. I an currently writing a script for a fan film based on The Crow. I cannot seem to find a low budget camcorder with good software and low light capability. Most of the film will be shot at night and I want a good clear picture in low light and it has to work with windows movie maker!
I'd appreciate any suggestions cause I can't find anything in my price range.

A. Good low light video capture behavior = large lenses and large imaging chip systems.

Big glass and big chips are expensive. There are no "inexpensive" camcorder with lenses larger than 60mm lens filter diameter + 3CCD (or 3CMOS) imaging chips (1/3" or larger) which is why you can't find any.

Versions of MovieMaker before Windows 7 cannot deal with AVCHD compressed MTS files unless they are transcoded first. Only certain combinations of of Windows 7 and MovieMaker Live can deal with AVCHD/MTS files... No version of MovieMaker will deal with MOV files (unless transcoded, first). Only certain configurations of MovieMaker will deal with AVI files. So I'll say any consumer camcorder or camera that captures high definition video to flash memory or hard disc drive is not do-able because dealing directly with MovieMaker won't happen. No one should ever waste their $ on a DVD based camcorder. As for miniDV tape, MovieMaker can't deal with HDV. But, if the computer has a firewire port, it can deal with importing standard definition DV files. Certain versions of MovieMaker can deal with the MPG files from some consumer cams - no version of MovieMaker can deal with standard definition MOD files...

For $300, the Canon FS series standard def flash memory cams are OK - and they can do stndard definition widescreen - but you will need to use a transcoder like MPEG StreamClip www.squared5.com or HandBrake www.handbrake.fr to convert the files to WMV format so MovieMaker can deal with them.

Good luck!
