Q. I also need it to shoot in HD and be 150$ or less. Waterproof, shockproof, and about the size of a flip cam
A. If you buy cheaply you will only end up having to replace the cheap rubbish. I made that mistake! only spent $120 and ended up throwing it away and starting again. Worth spending a little more and getting a great camera that will last. For snowboarding try GoPro they are amazing, you can get the non HD model even cheaper than HD and still get really incredible footage...unless you plan on showing your footage at the local cinema you really dont need HD anyway. The only down side is the mounts don't totally take all the shock out of the footage and you have to keep changing mounts, if you want your friends to have a go takes valuable slope time. Another option for steady shots and hands free filming try www.immortal.co.uk. They have sunnies with a video camera and mic built in (the mic doesn't really work well when flying down the slope but once stationary or away from wind is exceptionally good considering the size. www.immortal.co.uk have the stockist listed and you can buy online. I watched the Gadget Show review and they got really high rating! Good thing about the glasses is you can really quickly pass them around your friends without having to change helmet attachments. We had great fun with them our last trip! Hope that helps. BTW if you want to ignore my first suggestion try ebay! They have really cheap cameras (which I ended up throwing away).
Are there HD Sony Camcorders available for sale that have UBS 3.0 port or cable?
Q.
A. Hi Matt:
From searching Sony's websites, using the keywords "USB 3.0", just the latest Sony Vaio laptops, and the Z-series Power Media Docks (with DVD or Blu-ray burners) show having the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. None of the newest camcorders show any USB 3.0 ports, even though a Micro-B USB 3.0 (small form factor, as needed on small gadgets) connector exists. Unlike the "A"-end (computer side) of a USB 3.0 cable, with its backward-compatible plug design, the "Micro-B" connector (camera/gadget side) is not backward-compatible with Mini-B or Micro-B connections for USB 2.0 or 1.1.
Sony's "Picture Motion Browser" version 5.6 and higher, which is used to connect Sony cameras and camcorders to PCs & handle media files, has USB 3.0 enhancements enabled for any cameras that might have USB 3.0 model-specific features built in. PMB versions 5.5 and below won't be able to take advantage of USB 3.0 enhancements.
Windows 7 didn't initially ship with USB 3.0 support (Windows 8 has it built-in), and Intel & AMD just started supporting the new standard last year (with integrated support for chips shipping this year), so the new ports have been slow to take off.
The basic concept of USB, regardless of speed, still differs from FireWire (tiered star topology vs. daisy-chain topology), with FireWire's ability to supply 80% isochronous uninterrupted bandwidth for video streams that require constant guaranteed bandwidth. This is the reason you don't see USB ports utilized on low-compression high-data rate camcorders, such as DV, miniDV, HDV, and DVCAM models, except for still photo/memory-card transfers.
hope this helps,
