Q. I need a camera that will take very great quality HD videos for a motocross movie that I will be selling. It needs to be under $800. THANKS
I'm making a motocross movie to sell in stores but the highest I can possibly go is $800. It needs to be compatible with Sony Vegas Pro and go into the computer through USB. Also, it has to be great with fast moving things, i.e. the bikes.

A. For the best quality I would suggest a Mini-dv camcorder but in your situation, you may be better off with a media card camcorder. I know the quality is not as good as a mini-dv camcorder but because of the huge amount of vibration the camera is going to be put through, I think a Mini-dv would spend more time being repaired, dust and vibration enemy of a camera. Forget HDD camcorders it will die very quickly, and a dvd camcorder does not even warrant a mention.
as for the model there are loads, its down to personal choice, and you need to find a camera that you are comfortable with. the best thing is to spend some time looking at some cameras, hold them get the feel for them. then make your decision.
Good luck

What's a good HD Camera for recording and achieving slow motion with?
Q. I need a good HD camera to record with that won't break the bank (preferably under $800, that possible?). I've heard time and time again that I should get a camera that records in 60i, then in post production I can slow it down to 24p. What camera are good for this?
A. You are mixing formats.
60i = 30 frames per second - this is standard NTSC frame rate. When you slow the video to about 14 frames per second, you will start to see poor "slow motion" results. It gets worse the slower you go. "Slowing" to 24 fps is an attempt to get a cinematic look/feel because this is what film based cameras record at. This is not a slow motion feature.
If you really want slow motion, then record a a fast frame rate. Some Sony consumer camcorders have "SmoothSlowRecord" that allows a few seconds burst of up to 120 frames per second so when the video is played back at normal speed (30 fps), it is truly slow motion. Some of the Casio Exilim DSCs can do faster than that.
If what you want is the 24 fps "cinematic look", then you need a camcorder that records at 24 fps. The Canon HV40 and many of the HF series camcorders do that. Some Sonys, too. But keep in mind that it is a lot of marketing hype that pushes that... If you REALLY want the 24 fps "film look", you REALLY need to be using a film camera - not digital video.
If you decide you really want to do the digital 24fps thing, be sure your video editor can deal with that and the "drop down" conversion issues - many cannot.
