I just got the Sony Cyber-shot for a camera camera, and it takes videos as well. We have a bigger camcorder, that takes great quality movies that will fit on on TV screen, but if you want to take movies mostly for U-tube, the smaller cameras are great. I have to encode all my large movie files, otherwise they take forever for U-tube to upload, and U-tube makes them smaller anyway. With this camera, the quality seems perfect for the smaller screen. It also has a rechargeable battery that comes with the unit that plugs directly in the wall. Your movie file fits on the same card as the photos, and it came with a 2 gig card, which is pretty big. Most movies you want for U-tube won't be over 5 minutes anyway. |
