Q. Since the 2011/2012 snowboard season just came up I thought it might be a cool idea to film some of it. There is a really good deal for a camcorder at a local store and it shoots in HD with 30 FPS. Are 30FPS enough to film sport videos clearly? Please help, thanks a lot!
A. A speed of 30 fps is adequate, and it has the added advantage of being compatible with a lot of other equipment you might need to use, such as editing systems.
How clear each of the 30 frames per second looks depends on how much light you have. In bright sunlight, you can use fast shutter speeds and each frame will be very sharp and distinct � although this can produce an undesirable stroboscopic effect in extremely bright light. In low light, each frame will be blurry. In both cases, motion will be reasonably smooth.
If you want really smooth motion, you need much higher frame rates, but few cameras (especially consumer models) are capable of higher rates. A camera that shoots 60 fps progressive can provide a great improvement, although displaying the results may still be problematic since it requires a compatible display or TV set. Higher rates work even better but require specialized cameras and often specialized editing and display equipment.

What is a good camera to use for youtube?
Q. I want a high definition camcorder like the one macbarbie07 and ilikeweylie use.... I just don't know what kind to buy, PLEASE HELP! winner gets 10 pts.
A. Canon PowerShot A1300 16.0 MP Digital Camera with 5x Digital Image Stabilized Zoom 28mm Wide-Angle Lens with 720p HD Video Recording Great camera for the price. Purchased the camera in May 2012 to shoot family events, friends ect. You could not ask for a better price vs performance camera. Very simple to use, excellent picture and video quality. I would suggest getting a cushioned camera case that includes the USB thumb drive reader for $10, the case is perfect for travel and storage when not in use. The USB reader is a great option when offloading the memory card.
