[Air-l] Digital Video Recordings

[Radhika Gajjala]

I use a Sony usually - but that is comparatively expensive (there 
might be cheaper models) and you dont need that much complexity for 
basic recording - our student tech center provides students with the 
canons and they use those when doing projects for my classes and I 
agree with Jeremy  - they do quite well. Imovie is the easiest for 
simple editing and has a low learning curve for quicky projects. But 
Final Cut Express isnt so bad either - that's a little more complex. 
Depends on what level of complexity you require in your final product.


Panasonic has  (mini dv)  cameras for even less (280, 360 ish) than 
the price of the canon optura line - but since I have tried that only 
a couple times I cant say how good it is yet - seems functional - 
again depends ....
