Sandy R asked:


I’m looking for a camcorder to buy, something that will not give me the whole ‘home movie’ effect and feel to it. I will also need a tripod so it won’t be shakey and all that but could you just tell me some good inexpensive camcorders that will give me what i’m looking for. I don’t know much about camcorders and lenses but i’m looking into it. If anyone can help me with brands and prices of camcorders to look into I will be very thankful.

Hi, I have a Sony DCR TRV 22E, I need to use my camera for monitoring only or as a webcam, not recording. How could I prevent my camcorder from shutting down itself? Because usually when not recording the camcorder would shut down to save the battery power. Thanks a lot.

I am contemplating of getting a camera with the ability to shoot good quality videos. These videos are more for presentation. Otherwise, should I just get a camcorder? I really like to rather have 2 in 1 but I am unsure of what brand or make is the best.

I have a Samsung SC-D353. I downloaded the driver software off of the samesung website. At first, when i plugged in the camcorder, something would pop up in the bottom right corner of my screen, now that doesnt happen anymore. How do I open the camcorder information on my computer? Im totally confused.

luckeenumber8 asked:


I’ve been looking into buying a camcorder to record my bands shows. I need something 125$ or less. I really want something that has good audio (obviously) and can capture a good picture in dark places. The venues I play in tend to be dark. I have been looking at Aiptek camcorders but I’m worried I’m going to buy something that isn’t worth the money. Does anyone have any suggestions on camcorders?
