subject: What's The Best Video Camera To Utilize For Youtube [print this page] A very basic question that others are always wondering is What camera shall I use? Because once youve recorded your video content like what Im doing right now, youre going to have to move it to your video editor. And theres really two methods. One, is by using a very simple camera for individuals who are on a low cost which Im sharing with you soon. Or two, use a bit advanced camera which is the current one that Im using right this moment to document on. And both is really depending on your financial budget and also with respect to the excellence of the video that you want to take out there.
The first one that Ive been using for a long time before I really moved to this camera that Im presently recording on is a Kodak Zi8 camera. This is a very nice, very small and very light camera that Ive been using and I had a 32GB card in here as a way to capture all my high definition videos. Now the explanation why this is an excellent camera is one, it has an exterior microphone which you'll just connect onto the side right over here. Then if you have looked at a lot of my videos, I had no less than about almost 100 videos that I saved using the Kodak Zi8 camera. And its a great camera given it records in high definition and the video sizes are quite compact in consideration.
Now the second item which is a little bit more expensive and also too, it records very high quality and you can see just from the creating is referred to as the Canon T3i Rebel. And Im not planning to take the credit that I found this. It was actually recommended to me by my buddy Gideon Shalwick. And simply again, it does offer an exterior mic so the good thing is I can connect this mic that Ive got on attached on me directly into the camera and start to share with you.
Now, take note, these cameras, these particular Canon cameras record very large files and theres little trick that Im sharing in the future video on how in order to have this sent to your video editor in a smaller file format and I think apparently at the moment it records up to about 300MB per minute so if youre planning to do a 10-minute video, its likely to be about 3GB which is really massive. Whereas in comparison, the Kodak Zi8, for approximately a 5-minute video that I used to capture, it will simply be about 200-300MB so its a small fraction of that size so you simply have to take that in consideration when youre outsourcing it to your video editor offshore.
Ensure that whenever youre purchasing a camera, youll also have a lapel mic which is what Im presently holding at the moment, you can sort of see it on me. But simply its just a mic that just clips onto you and connect it directly into your camera and it provides you with far better caliber of sound.
