Q. I need a cheap, yet good quality camera because I have been trying to make YouTube videos for a while now. Don't suggest anything from DXG or any Flip products because I have tried those and failed. Please give me some links or model numbers or brands that will help me. Thank you!
A. Hi Kevin:
Since it's Christmas season, I've noticed quite a few Q&A's regarding YouTube-style camcorders.
Kodak's new "Z-series" of inexpensive pocket recorders have been getting good reviews, both on here & the usual "gadget review" sites (as well as Consumer Reports). And I looked at the JVC "PICSIO" & "Everio" series cameras. The Everio GZ-MS110BEK has a nice "One Touch YouTube Upload" button built-in. The PICSIO GC-FM1 is in the $79 price class, if money's tight.
And looking at the Kodak website, they're having a 20% off sale today, and other deals all this week (see Kodak.com & Zi8 links below).
I'll post some links of other Y!A discussions, to help your quest.
Also, if you have a decent digital still camera (with a video mode), try using that �if you haven't already� with a File Converter software package to make the video YouTube-compatible.
best regards,

Good camcorder/camera for making youtube videos?
Q. My friends and I are making youtube videos right now with a decent camcorder and we are looking for a better high quality one. Within a reasonable price range, meaning under $700. We want one that will shoot good/high quality because we are currently working on a full webseries. If you know of some good cameras/camcorders let us know, Thanks.
A. As long as your video quality isn't too atrocious, the type of camera you use isn't nearly as important as other things, like content, editing, audio, etc.
Just about anything from Sony, Canon, or Panasonic will probably do the job. Of course, the more you spend, the better the image will be ... but if your web series is interesting, nobody is going to worry much about the video quality.
Be sure that you get good microphones and audio for your series. That's at least as important as a good image. Ditto for maybe a tripod and fluid head, some lights and reflectors, a boom for the mic, and stuff like that. Don't spend every dime on the camera itself.
While DV tape might give you a nicer image, it's also a huge pain to edit, compared to memory cards or disks that you can upload directly to a computer for non-linear editing. Memory cards aren't as fragile as DV tape, too.
In short, if you spread your budget around to get reasonable quality equipment in every respect, instead of spending a lot on one thing and nothing on another, you'll get better results. Maybe just settle for a mid-range, decent camcorder, plus other equipment that you really shouldn't do without. A mid-range camcorder on a tripod with some extra light and a reflector might look ten times better than an expensive camera in available light only, hand-held.
