    Can anyone recommend a good video camera that fits a really tight budget?

    I need to invest in my career and expand my options.  My budget is really, really tight but I don't want to waste my money on an inferior product that won't allow me the ability to post quality films on You Tube.  I have some ideas I'd like to post on HP, but would require a video in order to be more effective.  Help please?

    Hello,
    I am Lovey. I would like to help you regarding to buy a video camera. As you mentioned above you need a video camera to make videos and upload them on youtube etc. If your budget is really tight and you are looking for a low budget video camera then you must go with a camcorders because they are cheap and good device for make video rather than expensive Dslr Cameras.

    but if you want a Dslr Camera then go with Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR Dslr Camera and its price around 357.01 USD.
    If you are interested to buy a Camcorder then Panasonic SDR-H101 Camcorder is good for you. Its price is 293.70 USD.
    Search them on google for more information!! Thank you


    Regards
    Lovey

      Thank you, Lovey.  I'm afraid both are out of my budget, but I'll look for the Panasonic and see if I can find a deal on it.

    Hello there! my name is Mason, I stumbled upon your question here and I felt i had a good answer for you. In my opinion, I would suggest the Nikon CoolPix S3300 ( $99.00 List price but you can usually get it much cheaper, around 55-80 $). It has a 16 MP sensor for great pictures as well as a 720P Video Recorder with a glass 6X optical zoom lens. Also, whats neat about this, is that is has the ability to use an eye-fi card ( you would have to buy it separately). This ultimately allows you share all photos and videos wirelessly to social media, personal, and public accounts ( Facebook, YouTube, Your email etc.). If this is still a bit too high you could check out the Kodak EasyShare 1550 ( $89.95 list price but you could find it for around 45-75). This also has a 16 MP camera with a larger 3 inch lcd viewing screen which also allows for 720P ( I believe) video taking. This as well has wireless sharing but it is already built into the camera and has its own dedicated easy-share button. I hope this helped and if you need any more ideas on cameras, web cams, or what to look for in a good one, check out my site http://jdoyle291.wix.com/photographer-2 … mera/c1klw under camera reviews>Top 5 Cheap cameras as it also has a large reference list to different cameras and web-cams which may be of use to you. Thanks, and i hope this helped you.

      Thanx Mason.  I'll check out your site.  I have an Olympus digital camera that does pretty well for me.  I'm looking for a separate device for video use.

    Have you heard of Go pro? It is a compact HD video camera, that is mountable, water proof, and fits your tight budget. Can you afford $199.99 USD? It comes in 3 different variations the white edition, Silver Edition and Black Edition. For further details check out their website http://gopro.com/hd-hero3-cameras the prices range from $199.99 - $399.99 USD.

    Good Luck
