I would like to shoot outdoor videos for youtube and was wondering what video cameras would look good on youtube? Price range? Megapixels?


Answer
Videos are mostly shot at the highest resoltion being 1080p which is 2mp roughly for cusumer. I think you may be confused. Cramming 16mp in a ting sensor means less light per pixel. So essentially for your question no. Any Sony Canon or JVC Pansonic between the price of £200-300 will be good enough. You may even get some cheaper.

Resolutions and file format are what you need to pay attention too. Examples. 720x480 1280x720 1920x1080 filmed in either MP4 or AVCHD. You will need to make sure your software aceepts these file formats....

Does the megapixel of a digital camera affect the video quality it can take?

My buddy says that the higher the megapixel a digital camera has, the better quality video it takes. I was not sure how true that statement was. Can anybody clear this up for me?


Answer
No its totally different.

To keep it simple.

Digital still cameras were designed to take still pictures, or still photography. Here they use the term Megapixels for the capability(number of sensor elements) of the camera to capture data of an image taken. The bigger or higher megapixels, the better or higher amount of data recorded.

This doesn't mean that the image is good right away. It just means that your digital still camera is capable of capturing such and such amount of data. There are several factors that contribute to a "good quality image"; lens is a big factor.

Now having said that, the manufacturers of these still cameras decided to thrown in a little feature called video recording with optional audio for some.

You have to remember that the first digital cameras, Sony Mavica were based on video technology. They were actually considered digital video cameras that shot still images and stored them in floppy disks.

Now even though having internal organs capable of recording videos, our digital still cameras were designed to record still images.

The factors that would ensure quality video images are the sizes and the number of CCD's (Charged Coupled Device usually 3, thus the term 3CCD) and The bigger the CCD that is used, the better the color and image quality of the video. The bigger the hole in your wallet would be. The lens is also a big factor. For digital, its also compression; avi., mov. and now MPeg4.

With respect to the manufacturers of our digital cameras, the quality of the video that they capture is quite good. Many of the point and shoots have better video quality than our old video 8 or hi-8 cameras.

a 1GB SD card will hold about 14 mins of TV quality video.

I hope this helps Bud.
