Features of the ContourHD Helmet Camera by VholdR

Are you thinking about buying a helmet camera to shoot some videos while you are out doing your thing? Check out these fantastic features:

• Full HD recording (1080p) – 1920×1080 pixels – 30fps for super smooth and crisp videos
• 5 Megapixel sensor
• Internal microphone
• Removable Lithium-Ion battery; records up to 4 hours before charging is needed
• Aluminum and fiberglass water resistant body

Did you read that last one correctly? Water resistant body. That means you can shoot in a variety of environments without worrying about your new toy getting killed by some rain or the splash of a puddle. That is some seriously cool technology.

135 degrees
The camera captures 135 degrees in front of you so, unlike some other helmet cameras, you are going to be showing people pretty much everything that you see. That is very important for most video camera fans, especially if you want to upload videos to the internet and Youtube where quality and widescreen are now very important to viewers.

Super tiny and lightweight
The last thing you want on your head is a heavy camera. Don’t worry about it here. This video camera fits in the palm of your hand and weighs close to zero. Literally, you wouldn’t feel this camera on your head and as such your neck will be protected.

Mounting on lots of things
The helmet camera comes with its own mounting technology that will allow you to mount it onto goggles, helmets, etc. Some people were worried that the camera would slide off during a bike ride but it is so secure that the worries vanishes after a few seconds. It is a great slide and lock system that keeps your new camcorder very tightly attached.

Up to 8 hours of footage
Another feature that blows us away is that you can capture up to 8 hours of footage on this tiny little camera and then upload it to PC or Mac in just a flash. It works on all Windows versions (including 7) so you don’t have to worry about any compatibility issues when trying to share the videos on Facebook or Youtube.

For a long time I have personally felt that Sanyo video cameras were behind the other guys. Not anymore. Not by a long shot. This Sanyo VPC-ZH1R HD camcorder is one of the best video cameras we have seen in a long time. Regardless of what kind of videos you want to shoot you will fall in love with this simple to use but amazingly complex video camera. It is something quite special.

Features of the Sanyo VPC-ZH1R Dual Camera

Some of the features that make this video camera so wonderful include:

• High Definition 720P Video
• 30X Optical Zoom
• 2 MP Photo
• 3.0″ LCD Monitor
• 1 GB SD Card, Camera Case, Additional Li-ion Battery, HDMI mini cable

This is an amazing video camera for shooting videos for Youtube and the videos are shot in 1280×720 HD at 30 FPS. This means that when you play the frames back on your PC or Mac you will notice that it is extremely sharp and smooth and when you then upload them to the internet you won’t see too much of a reduction in quality. Some people are making a lot of money with Youtube videos and this is one video camera that you should consider buying for that purpose.

The autofocus is also a fantastic feature if you are new to shooting videos of if you just don’t want to much around with focusing images when you should be concentrating on the model or the event that is happening. A lot of people are remarking that this Sanyo has one of the best autofocusses that they have seen in a long time.

The price

The last thing that we want to talk about is the price. You can pick this camcorder up for around $100. To me that is simply astonishing because of the high quality and extra cables and components that come with it. Well done Sanyo.

The Kodak PlaySport HD waterproof pocket video camera is a camcorder that is taking the world by storm. It has been on best seller lists now for weeks with sports players and outdoor adventure junkies buying it up in bulk. It seems this video camera has really struck a chord and people are loving all the features that is boasts.

Features of the Kodak PlaySport HD Video Camera

Some of the features that are making this awesome little video camera so popular include:

• Completely waterproof up to 10 ft. (3 m)
• Full 1080p HD video for amazing quality
• Electronic image stabilization for those bumpy shots
• Brilliant 2.0 in. color display so you can see what you are shooting
• Capture 5 megapixel HD stills (16:9)

A lot of people are making money by shooting videos for Youtube. I have a sneaking suspicion that this camcorder would be perfect for that job as you can get messy and not worry too much about the camera getting broken. Just think of all the amazing videos that you could shoot if you didn’t have to worry about the video camera getting damaged.

When you look at examples of this video cameras quality you honestly get surprised at how good it is. Normally when cameras are built for strength and durability they compromise on quality. Not the Kodak Playsport – all the footage is crisp, smooth and very high quality. I highly recommend this camera.

But what if you don’t have a lot of money? What if you cannot afford to buy a new camcorder? The answer is to purchase second hand. These days it is possible to use basic online methods to buy a second hand video camera that is of top quality – sometimes still with warranty remaining!

Ebay
Ebay is the first place to look for anything second hand in Australia. It is an amazing online creation that allows people to sell anything and everything for minimum cost. And the best part about Ebay is that you get quite a lot of protection when buying. If you pay for a video camera and it never gets sent to you by the seller, Ebay will chase them up and usually refund your money.

Ebay is also a fantastic place to get your brand new cameras as there are a lot of wholesalers on there taking advantage of the large number of hungry buyers!

Our Online Store
Our online camcorder store is constantly being updated with the best listings from Ebay. We only list the camcorder brands that we feel are of top quality. The wonderful thing about having an Ebay store built into our website is that you can often read the review of the video camera before checking it out on the listings page. This is very convenient.

I encourage anyone who is thinking about buying a camcorder to just take the plunge and do it. 20 years from now when you are watching back some important event with your family you will be extremely grateful that you did.

The Sony HDR-SR11 10.2-MP 60GB High Definition Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder is one of the most popular camcorders around at the moment. It has been in the top ten most popular video cameras on Amazon.com for a long time and with good reason. This is an excellent camcorder.

The worst thing about camcorders is the vibrations. Unless you use a tripod the screen is always shaking and bouncing. It is really annoying to watch and looks quite amateur. But this Panasonic corrects the image 4,000 times a second! Every second it will re balance the screen up to 4,000 times. This really helps with the shaking and stabilization.

This Panasonic also has a 50x zoom which will allow you to record even the most far away objects. This video camera is perfect for sporting events, travel holidays or even the most intimate family gatherings. We highly recommend it.
