We are doing the registry… and from Target, all I want is a decent camera…
I want to be able to do as much video as I have battery and memory to do (not limited to 5 min like my cybershot), and I also want at least 5mp stills.
Again, this has to come from Target.
Looking online isn’t returning any reviews, so I am coming here.
Ideas? Suggestions?
What model Sony Cybershot do you have? Every one I’ve ever used can take unlimited video, but you have to do it on a lower resolution and you have to hold down the shutter button the whole time.
You’re thread is titled “video camera” - are you talking about buying a camcorder or another camera that can do video?
more so a camcorder… but I want to be able to do stills…
I don’t recall the model number, as I have not seen it in about a year after Choda stole it after he broke it.
I was trying to make home movies… and it would die after 5 min… weak.
Thanks for asking the right questions. It is early yet 
I work in photo over at walmart, all the ones we carry do 1.3MP stills, which are crap =)
The camera I have, is a Casio EX-Z60, which can do unlimited video… and you don’t have to hold down a button or anything.
Just uses quite a bit of memory.
20FPS video, on a 1 GB card gives me 30 mins of recording time.
But luckily, we have 1GB memory cards at wallyworld (the one in clarence) for 20 bucks 
Normally $40-50.
and it’s 6.0MP, so awesome pictures.
But uhm.
Trying to find a camcorder that does awesome stills could be a problem =)
Have you checked out the everio line of camcorders from JVC?
They’re all HD… so those are pretty snazzy.
but cost $500 for a 20GB camcorder 
I think some can do stills, some can’t…
Well you’re not going to get 5mp stills from a Camcorder, unless you want to buy a $15,000 camera. My camcorder does 1920x1080, but is still very expensive.
You need to decide what you’ll be doing more - capturing video, or taking photos. If you’re going to be taking more video, then you won’t get very high-resolutions for stills. If you want to focus more on pictures, then you can get a camera that records video but it won’t be high quality and have a low frame-rate (smoothness.)
And Targets online selections are slim with little info, but let me know what you plan on focusing on and I’ll do some looking.
Thank you Onyx
K, lets get a decent camcorder from Target, and I will worry about stills later.
if you have the time, let me know what you think about their selection.
