You can use MiniDV cameras for webcast?

I got a JVC DVL-500 Mini DV back in '99. Its awsome I use for everything. I have a stand for it and everything

Its my webcam, regular cam, picture cam. So versatile, I paid $650 when it came out new and its still high in price. JVC makes awsome cams. Has Firewire, SVHS, serial port. Sony is good too, uses the Media disk. But I like recording MY bedroon activities too when I have "friends" over.

Hmmm.... I may have to get in on this.

We have a cheap Sony Hi8 camcorder Thumper bought at Wal-Mart, cost her about $300 if I recall.

You just have to be sure to leave enough light in the room to record a quality picture.

There are few things as comical as sitting down with your SO and watching a video of the two of you having sex. It looks so ridiculous I have to admit we laughed out loud the first time we watched a tape of us together.

As for the camcorder itself, we use a cheap tripod bought from a camera store for $20, and for lights we just turn on all the lights in the room. The production values are lacking, but we have a great cast!

More than anything, I was trying to get some suggestions between the 2 models in my first post. I'm already pretty decided on getting a camera

Bah.. These forums are far too Disneyfied for that..

Whatever you get, make sure it will zoom in closely. Makes things look bigger.

 

[Fuzzmuncher]

What do you mean by that?

 

[Fuzzmuncher]

In any case, is the sony quality worth the extra ducats?

..... and your handle is fuzzmuncher

This thread is going down hill quickly. Oh wait it started like that.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Dude, relax it was a joke

I'd go with the Sony. I've never had any problems with their optical production lines.

I thought that meant he ate his belly button lint?

 

":Q"

LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking too. The subject title is so suggestive. . . . It's got some pun potentiality. . . .

On a serious: Sorry I can't help you really here, Fuzzymuncher.
