I'm planning on asking for a video camera/digital camera hybrid for Christmas. I am wanting one that I can shoot good quality video's with, and take good digital pictures as well. I want to be able to upload my video's to my computer for editing, and I want it to be around $200 (or down as far as you want to go, as long as it is still of good quality).

Anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks,
Vampy

Here's one that's under $200. It's a camera and video camera. It can also be a webcam, MP3 player, voice recorder, and portable hard drive. The video camera capability is TV quality and the camera has 4 MP. It's normal price is $149.99 but here at Best Buy it's $142.49

Great deal in my opinion.

Thanks for the link, GM! That does sound liek a sweet machine. I'm going to go to Best Buy soon and see if I can find something like this one.

Does anyone know if they make digital video cameras that can also record onto a video tape?

I would question the reliability of the brand name, but yea, that sounds like a helluva deal...

The digital video cameras record onto a smaller tape called a DV tape and then you can buy a VHS adapter which is like a normal tape except there's an area for you to stick the DV tape into it. Then you can just pop it into your VCR like a normal tape. You can also hook the camera up to the TV with provided cables to view your footage.

if you're looking for something cheaper than DV there's also Digital8... Which are small white tape things... At least I think it's cheaper... I know it's older...

But if you mean VHS and not just a non-digital backup of sorts, then you gotta follow them crazy instructions of other people... :sneaky:
