Video cameras

I want to get a video camera.
im saving up for one but i also want a mac. i want the camera quite alot more than the mac. and if i get the camera it will mean that i cant get the computer so im stuck with my slow windows xp. which means i wont be able to get any super high quality or high definition cameras.
does anyone reccomend a good video camera for under $1000

well goerge if you were to save up a little bit more past your 1000$ mark you could get one of these proffesional sony cam recdorders even though it is not top quality in the dv can recorders its an awesome camera for doing skating videos

Be aware that amazon may not be the best place to get it from... its best to go into a store and try it out, maybe get the files you test on usb and use it on your computer to make sure its compatible. Because there is no use for a video that cannot be edited.

i got my camera from dick smith

How much did you get it for???

$338

Thats not too bad. Is it worth $300?

its worth $338...

Sorry I meant is it like good enough to be $338??? Like did it meet your expectations etc.

oh. well umm yea its pretty good. the only thing im not to happy about is that the videos are H.264 format. this format isnt really recognised by editing softwares

Umm check your cam settings there may be an option of choosing which format to save in, did you say this was a sony? This is an unusual format for them... Try finding a converter, i know you were looking for one before.

thanks
and also its a samsung

ahh not a fan of them tbh lol kewl

Samsungs more tvs and phones i reckon not cameras

yea that was what i was thinking but i reckon that they could come into the video part now. you should check some of the reviews on youtube on the samsung mx20

I think Samsungs a pretty good all-around company. They make good stuff for pretty much everthing
