Videotaping

[harvey lee]

Looking to video tape some of our son's races, what type camera should one get, mainly tape race and need zoom. Or is there another avenue to tape these races? Not up on all the options.

Thanks for any help.

Harvey, the world has moved on to digital You can shop any of the box stores or online to find something that will work for you. The really nice thing is with a digital camera you can do your own editing and add captions and music. Just depends on how much money you want to spend. What kind of racing are you going capture

Vidoetape? I don't think you can buy that anymore. Yep, go digital. Can connect it to your computer and edit it and upload it. Do yourself a favor and get a 1 TB external drive to save that stuff to as well s a backup.

Cheapest solution is a smartphone or tablet that you already have.  Next is a point and shoot digital camera.  They seem to all have video capability with optical zoom, which phone doesn't have.  Third is dedicated video camera.

If you want the videos to be watchable get and use a tripod.
