Hi,
I'm about to go on a mad vacation trip with my friends, just our clothes and stuff, but no destination or way to get there lol. We'll take plane, train, car whatever we can afford. It's going to be mad for sure, but I want to film it all so we can enjoy it afterwards :)
I was thinking of simply buying a photo camera (I think I'm misspelling it in english .. the thing that takes 'pictures', not 'film'). But they are mad expensive lol, I'm talking an easy €200. So I might as well look out for a cheap but descent video camera (to film everything). Are they really only available from the €500 price ? Or are there less expensive ones ? I don't need anything fancy, it would be great if it has a nice picture though. But no effects, I don't care if it takes away my shaky filming or not, I don't care if I can call someone on Mars with it, I don't care if it will make me dinner. It just has to film .. :D Just one thing, it would be a nice extra if I could hook it onto my PC, to edit the film a bit.
Anyone has any suggestions ? I don't know about ebay though, I don't think I'll ever buy anything there, since I have to pay mad costs just for shipping. And what happens if you don't get the package A_A.
So a brand/price/type tag would be nice.
Cheers ! |
