What kind of camcorder should i get?

Q. Well, for over a year I've taken an interest into filmmaking. I've made a series of short films..
So my birthday recently passed an I wanted to get a legit camera.
(I've been using an iPod Touch and you can only go so far with something like that)

So I wanted to get a camcorder that mostly shoots video. Something waterproof, and doesn't break easily would be nice (For outdoors) also it has to be compatible with a Mac.

So if you have any recommendations, that would be nice. Also if you can link a website where I can find that camera, that would also be nice.

Thank you!

*I've just turned 16, so nothing expensive like $1,000*

My price range is pretty open but a beginner camcorder would best suit me because I've just begun.

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.

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

Sharp VL-C73 camcorder cassette?
Q. I recently received a fully functioning Sharp VL-C73 camcorder that my grandmother found in a yard sale. I've plugged it in, and it works and records perfectly--a lucky find. The only problem--no cassette! I am completely ignorant when it comes to 90's video technology, so does anyone know what type of cassette I need, and maybe where I could get one online? I would love to be able to record cool artsy b-roll shots with my new camera!

A. Sharp made mostly video8 camcorders. you can also use a Hi8 or Digital8 tape, they are all the same. i don't know how lucky you are, video8 is the lowest resolution camcorder system ever made and has marginal audio fidelity as well. until you put a tape in, you won't know that it records. while turning on and seeing a picture is a good sign, it does not tell if the recording heads are broken or clogged.
