I’m looking for a good camera this snowboarding season. I want it to take clear video(hd perfered, but im on a budget). I dont want to spend much more then 400 dollars
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
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…
hey im making a pro looking snowboard video.. i already got a thousand dollar program for editing but i was woundering witch kind of camera i should buy to get perfect quality videos. i have a sony handy cam but its not the quilty im looking for.and yes i use fire wire to upload videos.. price doesnt mtter.. 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.
i want to buy a new video camera to make skate, snowboard, and bmx videos with. i was thinking about the canon gl2. i wanted to know if there were cameras that are a little cheaper that are still good and how i could get one.
I would either get a helmwt cam or a svp t-500 (around $100 US , they will take a few bumps and scrapes , and are high defiition
i need a video camera that is best for outdoors that i can use for snowboarding. im only willing to pay 400 or less. and id rather have something small or slim.
Try the sonyhandy camcorder. It is good. But I do not actually know the price.
