Which camcorder is good for filming soccer games?

Q. I want to film my brothers soccer games and training so I wanted to buy a camcorder.
My budget is pretty low so nothing fancy.
My friend is selling Samsung HMX-F80BP, and I want to know can this one record soccer/football games. I would use tripod and just go left right left right with occasional zooming.

I also thought about Canon vixia m30 or r30 but those are a bit over budget so I probably will reconsider them in a few months.

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

I need a camcorder to record soccer games - what should I know about resolution?
Q. I'm trying out a Panasonic PVGS80 camcorder, and noticed that the zoom shots have great resolution, but the far away wide shots aren't very distinct. The camera has 1/6" CCD with 680,000 pixels, and 640x360 pixels in 16:9 widescreen mode, 640x480 in 4:3 regular mode. Is this camera just too wimpy to shoot half of a soccer field, or is there a way to make this work? Is there a better camcorder I could get for under $250? Thanks!

A. If you want detail you'll need a camcorder with a CCD or (C)MOS chip larger than 1/6", especially for what you have in mind. However, I can't see that you can get anything up to the job on your budget.

By the way, it's a DV camcorder, so your resolution stats are wrong. I take it you're in the USA, so your TV system is NTSC. The resolutions are 720 x 480 pixels in 4:3, which is the same for 16:9 because of the anamorphic optical processing (ie: it's not proper widescreen).

Readers in Europe should note that the equivalent resolution is 720 x 576, basically because our PAL TV system is better than that found in the USA.
