Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

Why do I look so bad in photos shot with DSLR cameras and ONLY DSLR cameras?
Joey
With regular digital cameras and especially with film cameras, how I turn out is to my liking...
But with DSLR cameras, I always end up looking extremely fleshy and I SWEAR the depth of field isn't as great even though it's higher definition. My brow which is decently pronounced looks almost absent..
Answer
There is no reason.
A shot of you using 35 mm film should not reduce any extremely fleshiness (I guess that is a word) and if the focal lengths field of view is identical and the same lens aperture is used, there should be no difference,
I would say this.
Do a controlled experiment.
Set up some portrait lighting and then using a 35 mm camera with medium telephoto lens (85 mm or better - a zoom lens with that focal length in its range is fine) and a cropped sensor dSLR with a 50 mm or better lens. Have the photographer shoot you using both cameras, at the same lens aperture and there should be NO difference.
My guess is that the photos taken of you using a P&S camera and 35 mm camera, were shot under different lighting conditions and with different focal length lenses.
When making decisions about how different cameras portray you, you have to have photos taken under the same conditions, otherwise all bets are off
