I'm looking to invest in a new camera for the purpose of taping live shows. I have been taping Audio shows for 4 years, and during that time have filmed one show. I currently have a gigantic camera, and I am looking to not only downsize, but to upgrade as well.
I do not know a damned thing about cameras, except PLAY, RECORD & how to attach the thing to my television, so I turn to you for help.
I have a budget of up to $300 (I will be purchasing online, not in a store). & I am looking for something that will be more discrete & lightweight & will come out great in the end (after I transfer to DVD).
I was searching eBay initially & there are the variations I do not understand the difference of - what should I look for in a camera & why?
DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS:
4.0 MINI DV Digital Video CameraWill that do? How many megapixels do I want & why?
I don't want anything to extravengant - just something that will do the job - a decent job.
thanks for your help (for those that do help)!
