You tube recordings

What kind of videos do you want to make with the camera? For filmic quality, narrow field of depth etc...there's nothing like the DSLR's for video. They completely slay the video cameras. Problem is, you have to use the lcd on the back as viewfinder....so it's hard to move around, adjust focus on the fly. However, if you use a stand or don't need to shift focus around I would strongly suggest checking out DSLR's with movie capability. And you'll have a sweet camera to boot 8)

I'd definitely agree that a good DSLR would be awesome, but for cheapo option, something like JVC PICSIO FM2

Certainly not amazing quality, but if you only want it for YouTube, then it will do a job - don't expect it to look good on your telly!

This is a test vid I did a couple weeks ago:


Edited in iMovie (works fine in Premiere too) with audio track replaced by feed taken from desk & ambient mics into a Tascam DR40

what camera was this one?

 

[UnsungHeroGuitars]

JVC PICSIO FM2 - bagged it for £38 (£58 Aussie Dollars) on ebay

I got one just to see if it would be any good for taking some live stuff for YouTube and yeah, it's ok - not stellar - just ok. Have since bought three more to set up for multi-angle etc

handy tip sid thanks.. what about graphics etc and editing is adobe premier pro any good? i have that (cs5)

If you are interested you can take an online course to learn Premiere.

I just took the CS6 one. Its a montlhy fee to use the site and they offer up pretty decent courses in lots of popular software.

FWIW, if you're interested, this problem can easily (but expensively) be solved by buying one of these DSLR Viewfinder, DSLR EyePiece, Optical Viewfinder - Zacuto Z-Finder

or, even better, one of these Z-Finder EVF (Electronic Viewfinder)
which features a "red haze" focus assist that paints red dots/lines over whatever area of your shot is currently in the sharpest focus.


or, if you aren't running around too much or have a long HDMI, by plugging the Canon into a TV or large field monitor.

Yeah, I was waiting for this one to go into production but it doesn't seem to happen...

Using an iPad as monitor would also have been neat, although not always practical.
