Quick question.....

[Jay26]

Hello,

Just a quick question. Just wondering if a Flip Mino HD Camcorder is a good camera to shoot with? Thinking of shoots like POV and Gonzo. Any help would be great. Thanks

Jay

Think about it, if you get good quality equipment it will help you acheive good quality work. If you have good quality work, you will have better models willing to work with you.
If you was to book me, not that I shoot POV, and I turned up and saw that you were planning on using a camera like that, I would turn round and just go straight home.

well thats you holly , not all Amateurs can aford real HD video cameras ,theres no point in spending 3k plus on a video camera if you are only shooting for a hobby . alot of models will work with Amateurs togs and i bet some photographers turn up with just compact cameras .

thanks for the heads up on that happysnapper... was considering buying one of those for use at work.

without hijacking the thread (i prolly should start a new thread) having had a chat with a model on here I'm tempted to get back into trying to get my head around video and stills work again.

as a rank am, what would you recommend happysnapper? Could I get a reasonable stills cam and vid cam for around a grand?

that isn't much cop is it - you're right though it dows look like footage from an N95

ill have a look at the cams you mentioned - cheers happysnapper!

thinkin about what jay26 did say though... it could be a bit of fun to give your models a flip video etc to do some candid stuff behind the scenes - poss added bonus material for sites or dvds etc

the Kodak Zi6 High Definition Pocket Camcorder is ment to be loads better and cheaper too . argos are doing it for ?99.99

mite get 1 to try out next week . good thing if you are not happy you have 14 days to take it back ...

search it on utube there lots of test videos with it .
