What vid cam do you use ?

[IndyJay]

I dont have the post count to make this thread in the other form. So I gotta ask here. I seen so many people make great vids to go with there post.

I just wanted to know what vid cams you all use?

I'm looking for something that does good in low light / indoors, im a night owl so opening the shades is not going to help me much and I dont have that many lights in my little apt.

Even if your cam is not for low light what do you have, and why did you pick it?

I don't make videos, but I will say that you need additional lighting or yours will look as awful as some of the others that I've seen. It really doesn't need to be an expensive lighting rig, you should be able to make something that is effective without spending a lot of money.

Results of some quick Googling:

Putting Together a Budget DIY Lighting System

Turkey Pan Beauty Dish

Cheap Light Strip

About 3 dayd ago I took a leap of faith and preordered a Kodak Playsport HUD waterproof cam. With a fold out hanycam.

I got a Logitech 9000, it's a webcam, but the quality isn't bad. Has a pretty crappy framerate though. But yeh, light really makes the picture eh. I don't have a lighting system, I just record my video in the daylight
