beggers can be choosers
i would say a action sport camera go to best buy and say im looking for an action sport camera they’ll give you exactly what your looking for
im filming my first snowboarding videos and want to know any basic techniques for taking some killer videos
it looks good when you follow the rider or ride next to him but you must keep a steady shot. on rails stand close to the top and film downward. make sure you just have a variety of shots to keep the video interesting. ive seen kids climb trees for good shots its all about creativity.
I will use it for filming people skateboarding and snowboarding mostly, so i want to be able to buy a lense for it.
Go with Sony — and get a waterproof housing for it. If you can afford it, consider the CX12. If you’re on a tight budget, the models that use Mini DV tapes are usually the least expensive.
For editing Windows Movie Maker (XP and Vista) is a good place to start. Sony Vegas Pro is the high end of the spectrum.
Version 9 will be released next month.

Im looking to shoot my first snowboard film this upcoming winter and want to buy a camera now so i can get used to it. Any suggestions for a camera that would be at home on the mountain?
Panasonic that records direct to dvd or a Sony sports model
Okay I’m looking for a video or digital camera that takes good videos. I’m want a camera with good clearness and zoom for snowboarding. Me and my friends are going to make some sponsor videos and need a good camera but don’t really want to spend big bucks.

I am trying to find a digital camera that can handle being dropped into the snow and still being able to take a picture or video. because the camera that we had wasn’t able to take a picture when taken out of the snow. go any suggestions?
Canon sd950

not too pricey, steady recording, durable, hassle-free
If you are snowboarding at high altitude or plan to fall, you want to stay away from hard drive based camcorders. You should ALWAYS stay away from DVD based camcorders.
That leaves flash memory or miniDV tape. The only way to capture steady video is to not he hand-held. Humans were not built to be rock-steady. Obviously, you cannot use a tripod or mono-pod but you really should try some sort of steadying device… For flexibility, I would suggest either a traditional camcorder with AV-in (the Sony DCR-HC96 was a good one, but no longer manufactured). I didn’t spend much time looking for a camcorder with AV-in for you – not many have this capability, but my thought is you want this feature so can use a helmet cam – that way your hands are free to use for snowboarding.
There is no stabilization available in a consumer camcorder – electronic or optical – that will provide you "steady recording". There is no such thing as a "hassle free" delicate consumer camcorder – or any other electronic device – that you will be taking to the snow (and potentially getting wet). The low-end "waterproof" cams will not provide "high quality", have small lenses and small imaging chips and will result in unstable/shakey video (whether handheld or not).
Camcorderinfo.com may help you find a camcorder in your budget range that has AV-input for the helmet cam…

PLZz help. thanks
I don’t know if you want some heavy duty camera or something, but since your snowboarding, I was thinking about buying my self the "Flip Video Recorder" or something in that nature.
It’s like 150$ built in memory about 1GB, so 1 hour of film I guess?
I hear it’s kinda small and has good resolution for its size and price.
A segment I shot with my quasi dude brother of daughter Son, hot surfer Adrian “Alien” Ledesma, who flew over from Maui to Northstar for his second time snowboarding. Also some clips from Vans Tahoe Cup. Black Diamonds, second day out! Next day he was off the chart, but since he sprayed my camera with snow and ruined it, there would be no more filming that week. I guess I could thank him for that, as I had to put the camera away and enjoy.
