    Hello everyone

    I am going this summer to the UK to do a video report. I would like to buy a camera and my budget is 600€ (£475). Can anyone help me choose a good camera to film my project? Does I buy a mic?

    Bye.

    If your project emphases video, you should consider buying a camcorder. Digital cameras don't have video capabilities that can compare to a decent camcorder.

    With the price you're willing to pay you can buy both a camcorder and a good digital camera (for still pictures).

    My project is based on interviews. But I would also like to film landscapes. That's why I would like a camcorder.

    Sorry, I forgot to precise it, I'm french and camera is the word for camcorder!

    Most digital point and shoot cameras, even the inexpensive ones, do a good job with landscapes. You certainly don't need to spend 600 euros on a camera if that's all you need it to do.

    Do you think that I can buy a mic and a good camcorder?

    What sort of camcorder I should buy? DV? with hard drive or tape? Witch brand is good?

    Thanks.

    Sorry, I can't help you. I know almost nothing about camcorders. I can only comment about digital cameras.

    For camcorders, I'd say that Sony and Panasonic are good choices, and JVC is a bad choice.

    I'd also say that you should get HD.

    I prefer digital video tape, but others like flash cards (SD Cards, etc.
