What is everybody using to take videos of their boats? My Blackberry vids aren't good. Not looking to do on board video at this point...... I don't think.
I was using the video feature on my Canon s5is, but I just bought a Kodak Play-Touch hand held vid camera for $99 on sale at target, I just loaded my first video with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az0zIeJiZJA
I use a Canon 5DMKII as well as a Canon 7D with for work and play (as a side for my work I make ads for our companies non-profit stuff they show in other countries and schools). I use the bodies with 4 main lenses, 16-35 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 24-105 f/4 IS, and 70-200 f/2.8 IS. I also use a GoPro HD Hero that I mount in my Associated SC10 for FPV video and also made a "hat mount" to video hands free. Basically I drilled a hole into the brim of a ballcap and mounted the cam on it. This way whatever I'm looking at, whether it be one of my boats or RC trucks, is what is being filmed. One of these days I will get around to editing and uploading the video to youtube.
If youre looking for a better cam than your phone, find a nice Canon Point and Shoot that does HD @ 720P and has IS built in. You will probably be more than pleased with the results. Not only will you have a better camera for vacations and such, you will also have a decent video cam as well that fits in your pocket.
I'm looking at the T3i right now
are you using the T2i in your youtube videos?
I LOVE canons. My neighbor is a pro photographer every once in a while he lets me take his pro cameras out... O my they are nice! He let me take his EOS 5D mark ii out the other day.... I need a new camera BAD.
