5 second rule of Photography;
With no flash, or the dimest of light, you can still have bright, well lighted pictures.

how much john?it all depends on if i sell some stuff i want to sell.....

[*314*john*314*]

$600-900.
Itll be worth every penny though

[sketchanderase]

i dont want a helmet cam.......and we have a good cam i can mount on a plane......i just want a good camcorder......i also kind of need snowboard goggles.......so i need to sell even more to get those......or i could get a job, but what job really highers a 13 year old? well there is one place nearby, but idk......

BTW youll need a light so the camera isnt always focusing on the light hitting the lens. So pretty much if you want good night videos youll need a real camera..

[sketchanderase]

And the auto focus is sooo slow on the cheep cameras...

[sketchanderase]

youcould just turn autofocus off couldnt you? why would you need a "real" camera? what do you mean by "real camera" anyways?

[TDisaster]

Please tell me you know that I was kidding. I have only been a member for a few months, but have racked up some posts!

You cant turn auto focus on a cheap camera, becasue there is no other way to keep your object in focus.
And by "real" I mean a HDV or simply a quality camera that runs off of MiniDV tapes to record.
Do you have a meadia productions type class in your school?
