Ask Camcorders

I know dslr have DOF setting but i don’t know with camcorders.
i’m planning to buy one as a gift. Thanks in advance.

Are they like psp disks where it is inside a case or are they physical discs?

Also are they re writable.

I am thinking about buying this camcorder

Another question, will Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder (planning to get one) gives me the video quality that the Mini-DV can give?

I am in a media class and had been using a digital codec converter box that allowed me to plug in the traditional red/yellow/white video cords from any device on one side, and have it play into the computer through a firewire.

It recently broke so I’m looking to replace it.

I first thought of getting another converter box such as this:

…but, now I want to get a new camcorder that includes this functionality. I must be able to plug in the yellow/red/white AV cords from a DVD or VHS player, and have the video transport into a Mac computer / iMovie software through a firewire cord.

This is NOT for PCs or for USB cords.

Are there camcorders that can facilitate this conversion? Which are the best? Thanks.

I would like to get a camcorder, preferably from BEST BUY though others would suffice.
The requirements are as follows:
-DVD Recording (Internal)
-Video Editing Software Included (PC)
-Adapter/USB Cables
-Special Color Effects (Black & White, Sepia, Etc)
-$280 AND UNDER, Discluding Warranties, Discs, Etc
Thank You

I’m a girl so nothing really big or bulky. Its for personal/fun use so it doesn’t need to be the most intricate in the world.

Buy Cheap Canon BP-808 Lithium Ion Battery for FS Camcorders

Last week, I tried recording myself playing Halo 3 on a Standard-def TV (which in fact does NOT support HD.) And the camcorder that I use is Sony DCR-SR67.

And when I record using that camcorder with that standard-def TV, I always get a little black shadow on the top of the TV when I record. Does it have to do something with the fact that Standard-def and HD don’t work well together?

Hi guys please help me with this I am about to buy a Dell XPS M1530.
