Im looking at buying a good quality camera that takes high quality shots and decent video. The price range is from 200-400$. Any recommendations? Much appriciated! +K for good advice!!
O then, If your looking for a photo camera you could go the dslr route Like a Canon t1 that doesn't do video but takes Great stills or you could go with a decent point and shoot and a lot of those shoot photo and video and are very inexpensive
just this winter, i bought a panasonic hdc-sd90 off of ebay for 330 dollars....
shoots 1080p 60fps, 24x optical zoom, touchscreen, manual and auto settings, the works. it's done me well but doesn't work well in the cold, you might find yourself buying extra batteries to warm up in your jacket. other than that i love it
unfortunately a 200 dollar magic camera/camcorder doesnt exist...save up a little more and check the entry level dslrs from Canon and Nikon that shoot video. you will appreciate it in the long run!
If you save up a few hundred dollars you can buy my current DSLR setup I'm selling. I haven't made the sale public yet, but if you can get the cash it's an entire photo and video setup.
