Q. I want video recording and still photo capability. Can you recommend a good DSLR camera.
A. HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.
DSLR Cameras, all Makes, all Models, all have the same problem when video taping some long videos, all overheat at the 13 to 18 minute mark, depending on the Make and Model. This is unavoidable, it all has to with the fact, video is an afterthought in DSLR camera production.
Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes � four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video

Camcorder or DSLR camera with date / time stamp on video?
Q. Camcorder or DSLR Camera with date and time stamp?
I'm looking for a good camera between the $300-800 price range, preferably a DSLR, that can give me a date and time stamp on recorded video. I am a private investigator and it is required while recording video or taking pictures. It needs to be saved on the finished product as well.
I understand it can be changed and not court admissible but this is not my problem. I am required by the company to have it regardless. Time and date stamp is mandatory over anything else. I would like to have a DSLR camera because of the zoom and lens capability. Videos are rarely ever longer than 30 seconds with hour cool down intervals so overheating the sensor should not be an issue.
Thanks!

A. Honestly, a camcorder might be a better choice here. When you record something with a DSLR or video camera it should keep "meta-data" on the date it was shot and time as long as you put in the correct date and time infromation in the settings. There are some cameras like the Panasonic GH3 that put timecoding into the video itself which is nice but it costs around $900. This kind of timecoding is usually found only on professional camcorders so that is why it is a nice feature on the GH3 for the price.
If you are concerned about zoom though a camcorder is a better choice. I own the Canon HF-M500 and it is a good camcorder for the money with a 10x zoom. Panasonic makes some nice consumer camcorders like the HC-V720 that has a 21x zoom. Keep in mind when you buy a DSLR you need lenes as well. With a camcorder you do not have to worry about switching out lenses. Whatever you save on a DSLR body will likely be lost once you buy lenses. Camcorders also do autofocusing very well and with a DSLR this is done manually which is difficult to do without experience. Go with the camcorder option and make it easier for yourself. You will save money in the end and get a much better out of the box package.
