Hello,
What is the best value/quality video camcorder in your opinion for using with YouTube.com
Is it difficult ? obviously you got to Edit the video aswell is there user friendly software to go for?

Plus there is the size of the file I can upload to YouTube.com I have a 275 kilobit broadband upload speed the maximum time lenght on YouTube is 10 minutes.

I have checked out the Consumer Reviews Which Magazine

Any suggestions much appreciated.

It's still there. Wake up, Heidy.

You don't need a special camcorder for YouTube, as high quality is not necessary.

Most modern digital cameras have a video(camcorder) function. Just look out for VGA specification. 640 x 480 Pixels at 30fps with sound.

Not all have the ability to zoom whilst shooting the video without losing the sound. I think the new Casio cameras can.

Thanks for that useful info I was nearly going for a Panasonic Camcorder for 339 £ Sterling from www.qvcuk.com I need to evaluate if its a quality camera for use with YouTube?

I suppose Argos have this Digital Cameras excluded from their 30 day gaurantee.?

I checked which Uk Consumer Guide 2nd July 2007 Casio Cams did NOT feature in their Best Buy Listings.

I have a Samsung UCA 5 Digital camera that shoots at 640 x 480 pixels @ 30 fps in the Xvid(MPEG 4) format. That gives me 67 minutes of video from a 1 GB memory card. Cost me around £80.

Very easy to transfer and edit the footage.

Some Digital cameras(Canon etc) don't use MPEG 4 compression, so you may only get 11 minutes per GB.

Don't waste cash(unless you want to) on an expensive camcorder for YouTube use, as they have to reduce it to MPEG 1 quality anyway.

We'll look at the editing software later.

Your email address is still in your first post. Edit it.

Trouble is YouTube dont support Good Quality vids, so paying £399 is a waste just for YouTube. If it was for DVD & Family then you need a Good Camera. But Websites like YouTube a Digital Camera or a MP4 Camera off eBay for £40-90 is good enough.

My old Samsunch A6 (6MP) has VGA Camcorder (640x480) & thats good. You need to make sure the Video is saved as AVI if you wanted to Edit them a LOT. Some are QT or RM files.... Most Camera's give you Ulead Video Studio (FREE) to use on PC, so you can Edit & Add Text/Images & Effects to it & save as DivX / X-Vid & upload to YouTube
