Day 39 - swollen brain!

PictureWaiting to see what is inside
AVCHD vs. XAVC, codecs and wrappers (not candy wrappers!), intra frame, log GOP....
I started researching video cameras a.k.a. camcorders about 3.5 hours ago. There is A LOT to learn!! 
I have learned so very much. And i realize now that i have way more to learn before i can even consider buying a camera! Every camera has its pros and cons depending on what you are using it for and that you want at the end.
 
Some of the features that are important to me:
  • a camera that has the capabilities of shooting one long continuous video (so i don't have to spend hours editing 3 to 5 small videos into one)
  • has an AC adapter (runs on electricity instead of battery)
  • manual exposure control (so i can up the "light" in darker conditions without having to also buy an external light source)
  • capability to record high quality in indoor light conditions (so, not grainy and grey)
  • has a rotating screen so i can see myself as i record
  • potential to use an external mic (if required) or built in mic that can receive voice (clearly) from up to 10 feet away
  • manual audio control
  • i do not want HD

So now, i just need to find ONE camcorder that does all that. So far i have fully researched a few Sony and a couple Canons and they DO NOT fit the bill, for one reason or another. Tomorrow, i will continue my learning and search. 
Now, i must go rest my brain!
happy Thursday!
hugs

    Sheron's Techie Journey

    I am not "new" to techie learning, by any stretch. In fact i used to teach people how to use their computers. But, that was several years ago. Since then, i have avoided learning new things on the computer. I seem to have gotten myself into a "stick in the mud" mind space in regards to all things techie. Well, that is all about to change!

    So i have decided to take a leap and offer classes and meditations on-line.
    This is a HUGE LEAP, as i need to learn, what feels like a million new things. If you would like to follow my progress &/or learn from my process, check this "blog" page often
