hi, i want to make online instructional videos, and was wondering what is a good camera and tripod? i would like to get as cheap as possible while not ruining quality and sound. also, how long can i make a video clip to show on the web? without it having huge load times? i will have to break up my lessons into clips but i dont know how long for each clip. also, what is the best way to present your videos on the web pages so that the videos cant be copied? should i just use youtube export? any help greatly appreciated. thanks. derek

hi friend, whats your budget? for under 100 you will just get basic webcam quality, maybe slightly better, in the 120-150 range you can get full 1080hd . try something like the kodak z16

Hi Friend,
When choosing a camera for creating online videos, the main questions to ask yourself are: What is my application? Who will be watching? How much money do I have? What are my expectations? Answering these several questions will easily help you narrow the broad selection of camera out there down to two or three possibilities.


Thanks,

depends on thre budjet, you can get a hd camera or just a webcam

i would suggest you to buy a cannon camera.
its whichever model suits your need you may buy.
it is the mostly used camera by the professionals worldwide.

Cannon or Sony. I think if you chose one of them you will not regret at all.

Camera of Sony is the best one, I am using the same

Try it

The best camera would depend on how much flexibility you require for manual controls and whether you are going to develop your skills to improve your camera work or just stick to automatic. Look at the camera features it will help you decide which one is right for you, its worth going to a shop and giving it a try before you buy also.
