What Cam do you use to film a Show

Post by traderktulu »

I think now its the time to ask you guys wich cam do you use to film a show. I want to buy me one and don´t know wich is the best to get a respectful bootleg. My thinkin is of a small cam wich is not so heavy. What about this little lowcost thing: Aiptek Pocket DV T300LE

Whats the best cam for filming??
Thank you for help me

I use a JVC Digital Camcorder. It makes a great picture. I think HD Cams or Cams where you can directly recording to a DVD are shit! If there some scratches on it, then you can throw away the disc. I like my JVC very much!
My Cam has an optical zoom (32) and digital zoom (800)
