Q. I recently bough a Kodak Zi8 Pocket Camcorder and I need to buy an SD card for it. If I purchase an 8GB card, approximately how much video can I hold if I use 720p video at 60 FPS? I'm not planning on using 1080p as that would require much more space.
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. most cameras that record to flash memory use 6 mbps as the datarate. that is independent of whether the frames are 480i, 720p or 1080i. 720p at 60 fps and 1080i at 30 fps are about equivalent rates anyway. but with compression, they all run 6 mbps unless you are using a pro-sumer camera that can use faster flash cards, one that costs about 10x the price of a Zi8. 8 GB should be about 100 minutes.
What's a good HD Video Camera for an aspiring film maker heading to college?
Q. Hi, I'm Tyler McDonald and I have a passion for making videos. After I graduate high school, I plan on attending either Grand Canyon University or Northern Arizona University to get a degree in Digital Film. I understand that these colleges will have cameras that I will be able to check out, but I'm really considering purchasing one of my own. The cameras at my school work, but I have problems with them from time to time with my MacBook Pro. I'm looking for a 1080p, 60 fps DSLR or camcorder thats within a reasonable price, no higher than $3000. I've been looking, but I've got a lot of great feedback from Yahoo Answers on previous topics so I decided to ask of your guy's opinions yet again! I would greatly appreciate any help with this, and links to where I may purchase these cameras would be great as well! Thanks!!
A. the longer you postpone your purchase decision, the better it will be.
1. you still have a lot to learn about what features are important in a video camera and what is just sales fluff.
2. technology is changing rapidly, and what might look as a good option now might not be so satisfactory 4 years from now.
3. you most likely will graduate to something more sophisticated than a MacBook Pro, and using that as the criteria for limiting camera selection is not wise.
4. depending on how you intend to use your college education, you may find that a dSLR is a truly poor choice for professional work. some projects require more than 12 minutes of continuous video recording.
