Selecting your first video camera is a very exciting experience, and it's understandable that you just want to dive right in and buy whichever one seems right. However, it is important to slow down and take your time. Exploring all the features and what is best suited to you and your capabilities is important: having a camera you do not understand would simply be a nightmare. Choosing your first camera is very difficult and daunting because you have to try to think long term as well, about features that you might grow into as you develop your skills, and also the type of film-making you will be using it for. There is a lot to think about and a variety of choice in the video camera marketplace so it is important to explore your options carefully.
I felt that it was necessary that I explored tips on how to make this process simpler, so when I actually go shopping for a video camera I understand precisely what fundamental features to be aware of. I stumbled across this video blog, How To Choose A Video Camera and it was uploaded by a video production company in Norfolk. It addresses five important elements that really have to be considered when going to buy a video camera.
I will briefly outline what the video taught me, most video cameras will be able to produce high definition footage. And the terms that you will need to look out for when buying your camera are HD 720 and HD 1080, these are the measurement of pixels that make up the vertical height of the video. Therefore, the more pixels a camera has, the more information there is and therefore the footage will be of higher definition.
The manual control of the camera was all mentioned, it tends to be that the more you spend on a camera the manual control can be achieved and usually the best results are achieved with manual control. This basically means that you are able to control the exposure or the brightness of the image, the focus and the depth of field.
The majority of cameras you will be looking at will be tapeless unless you are looking specifically for one which will require a tape. However, generally speaking HD cameras will record onto memory cards. Which is very beneficial for a number of reasons. Firstly, there is less risk of the tape breaking and losing footage as a result. Secondly, it also means that there is less noise when recording and finally, memory cards are reusable and therefore will work out being cheaper in the long run.
It is important to also take into account the amount manual control you will need, consequently effecting the exposure or the brightness of the image, the focus and the depth of field. If you feel comfortable and confident, typically the best results tend to be achieved as a result of manual control. Usually the more you spend on a camera the more manual control can be achieved.
