What’s the best point and shoot camera for video recording?
What’s the best point and shoot camera for video recording? Cash limit is $200. Thanks!
one of the better products in this price range is the Casio Exilim EX-Z80… it has a youtube capture (640×480 @30fps) …it also records in a higher Wide VGA (848 x 480 @ 30 fps), perfect for watching video on a widescreen monitor or TV. and it records to the H.264/AVC AAC, MOV format… which will allow the video to be transfered to Apple multimedia devices directly without being re-encoded. There are a number of cameras that record video to other formats…such as MJPEG and Quicktime…but the audio portion is usually WAV… and that audio format uses up more space and conversion is needed when watching on PMP devices. Its currently on sale at B&H for $140. This camera is also not a slacker when it comes to other features , face detection, and image quality. Another nice unique feature for video fans is a dedicated Movie button. No need to dig though screen menus and you can go from shutter button to movie button instantly!
Good Luck and happy shooting

canon s3 (should be ok with your cash limit) and s5 are excellent, but resolution is just 640×480. the new model released soon has HD. or look at the casio models, in my opinion quite good video.
