dv video camera with video in
i am wanting to purchase a dv video camera and have a budget of
between £200 and £300. my main requirement is analouge in or video in connections as i require to connect an external lens and microphone. i am having problems wadeing through all the cameras out there to find one that matches my criteria. can anybody advise on what is available please. I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean that you need to connect an "external lens"? Do you mean that you need to replace the lens with a different one -- like an SLR in photography -- or that you need to connect the camera to another camera and use the camera as just a recorder -- in which case you might do better just buying a dedicated recorder. In any case, check www.bhphotovideo.com and you'll see what generally available. However, it seems to me that your budget might be a little low. I don't really understand what you want-do you want a camcorder with external mic input(these are at the higher end-maybe above 500 euros), but why, since all good camcorders have excellent stereo mics and can record cd quality sound. If there is ambient noise, the on-camera mikes pick that up also. A remote mike on a cable, or a wireless mike, picks up speaker with much less noise than on-camera mikes. If you mean an A/V input, so that you use the camcorder as an my requirement is to use the camera mainly as a point and shoot to capture family video etc but the analouge in is to attach a remote lens and mic so the camera cn be mounted inboard in safety in the f2 sidecar i race and the external lens can be mounted on the fairing and the mike near the exhaust. hope this makes my requirements and usage more clear. i have decided on mini dv due to the vibrations on the sidecar which may cause a dvd or hard drive to jump. thought about just a recorder but want to use the camera for family stuff too. |

If you mean an A/V input, so that you use the camcorder as an my requirement is to use the camera mainly as a point and shoot to capture family video etc but the analouge in is to attach a remote lens and mic so the camera cn be mounted inboard in safety in the f2 sidecar i race and the external lens can be mounted on the fairing and the mike near the exhaust. hope this makes my requirements and usage more clear. i have decided on mini dv due to the vibrations on the sidecar which may cause a dvd or hard drive to jump. thought about just a recorder but want to use the camera for family stuff too. end quote I don't think that's possible, because the only case of lens I know to exist, that fulfills this requirement, is a CCTV camera, and obviously has very low quality.You don't need just a lens, it needs a sensor, too, to capture the video, battery, and more hardware to transmit the video to the camera.See here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-coupled_device and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder so you need a custom solution, AFAIK there's nothing generic to cover your needs, as you need off-the-shelf equipment with such a low budget. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering mechanized infantry reservist hordad AT otenet DOT gr |
