NF - Going to Disney - Camcorder Recommendations

[silveradosheriff]

Hi Folks, it's time to go digital.

 

Just wondering what digital camcorder folks are using and how they like them.

 

Thanks.

We bought this JVC model just before Christmas (from HH Gregg), and I really like it. Easy to use, transfers files right to the PC, and easy to convert them to MPEGS, and then burn DVD's.

 

I just finished a DVD last night of our 2006 Christmas.

Good luck!

Can't help you with the camera, but if you are going to Disney World in Orlando, I really recommend going to visit the Animal Kingdom park. Lots of fun attractions and the safari ride is fantastic.

 

And if you have time, try the local bass fishing, there are some lakes with boat rentals that are less than an hour from Orlando, plus you can hire a guide to fish on the Disney World lakes (I thought it was way too much money for two hours, but you might feel differently).

Hi DustinK, the JVC looks nice (and nice price too)!

How long does it take to dump a Gig onto your PC?

I have a sony handycam dvd ....and love it....love the editing and stuff you can do, and just hook it up to the dvd recorder and burn....so easy and its farely small too.

Hope you have time to film. There's so much to do you sometimes forget. I second Animal Kingdom and the safari ride. Don't forget the bird show.

Good luck on your search for a camera it's going to get a workout.

I've been to Disney with the kids and highly recommend a small digital camera that will fit in a pouch around your waste. Take a few shots with the family and enjoy your time there because it will fly right by. I've seen so many people there with their faces glued to camcorders the whole time and miss out on the joy of watching the magic of their kids’ fascination with the whole experience.

Just my two cents worth.

The small digital camera is packed - just need to add a camcording mate!
