I would like to ask the community this very simple question: what is the perfect camcorder for recording severe weather events? I know my answer, but I'll let other people decide for theirselves. Here is my list:
That's just my list. Feel free to debate! | |

while those are all good qualitys to have theres other things to consider such as price range, For myself I have a a sony hybrid handycam- the specifics on it
Format : SD (MPEG2) Video Signal : NTSC color, EIA standards Weight (Approx.) : w/o battery: 13oz (390g) w battery: 15oz (440g) Dimensions (Approx.) : 2 1/4 x 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 inch (55 x 89 x 130mm) Manual / Auto Lens Cover : Manual Memory Stick slot : Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media1 S/S & Zoom button on LCD : Yes Imaging Device : 1/8" Advanced HAD™ CCD sensor Pixel Gross : 680K Video Actual : 410K pixels (16:9), 340K pixels (4:3) Video Resolution : 720 x 480 Still Actual : 250K pixels (16:9), 340K pixels (4:3) Still Picture Resolution : 680K Recording Media : 3" (8cm) DVD (DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL) Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media (Sold Separately) 60x optical zoom lens
this setup all in all including the 2 year warrenty was 320 dollers but then again that beats the heck out of paying 2 thousand dollers for some of the camcorders on the market cause it just takes one slip of the hand and your camera will get ruined then your out 2000 dollers if it is out of the warrenty time frame
it has a wide angle lcd | |

-- You heard 'bout the legend of Jesse James, an' John Henry just to mention some names.Well there's a storm chasin' legend in the south today.A man called Donny, from Atwater, Cee-A. Every storm chaser knows his name.They swear he got ice blood runin' in his veins.A foot like lead, and nerves like steel. Well his truck jack-knifed, turned completly round,he was coming down backwards 'bout the speed of sound.Alot of folks seen him, and they all say he had his head out the window yelling, "Clear the way!"Well he got to the bottom, safe and sound, and everybody asked Donny how he made it down. He said folks when the tornado picked up too much speed I just runned along beside it and drug my feet.
