Is? DXG USA DXG-590V HD DXG Pro Gear 1080p High-Definition Camcorder a good camera?
I saw on amazon this for used with minor scratches (I don’t care) for $145 free shipping. I don’t mind the lack of storage as I’ve got memory cards myself, but major question is : IS this even a good video camera? I’m just looking to put 720p videos or if possible 1080p on YouTube.
Anybody know if its mac capable?
Best answer goes to who’s most descriptive.
Camcorder prices are dropping as the new class of devices are coming out. I’m not hating on DXG but they aren’t a top tier camcorder maker. I’ve had a DXG that worked great and another that was a piece of crap. I’m very cautious about any camcorder sold at Sears and Wal-Mart.
In it’s favor is the 5x optical zoom
H.264 MOV is great if you are a Mac user.
PC users will have to have a video editing program able to read the .mov format or will have to use a video converter if they plan to work with Windows Movie Maker or Windows Live Movie Maker.
Working against it is the photographic 12 mpx photo, it is interpolated meaning that it doesn’t have the ability naturally. It magnifies the pixels into looking larger than it is. Not cool.
It states that it needs a Class 6 SD card so you might have to buy if you only have Class 4 cards.
Using the $145 as a base level comparison there are these options
JVC Everio GZ-MS110BUS Flash Memory Camcorder for $99 at Tiger Direct is a great buy but it isn’t HD, it will do the wide screen format but it is a standard def camcorder. If you are just posting to YT this might not be a bad thing.
B & H Photo has a newer version of a DXG for $120

I’d hold off for a bit longer or until you find a sale from Canon, JVC, or Panasonic.

Affirmation $5.87 Savage Garden’s songs are of innocence and urgency. On the Australian pop duo’s second album, Affirmation, love is either a broken thing or a newly exploding one, passion and obsession taking over after a spin on the dance floor. At the same time, when Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones proclaim that they want to “live like animals,” they’re not planning anything too raw, too Reznorish: they just want … |

Bicycle $0.01 Bicycle, the sonic art project of Kurt Liebert, shows that this Seattle musician is not only the heir apparent of Beck, but can also claim lineage to the Beatles, Husker Du, and Pink Floyd. Liebert fuses less obvious elements of hip-hop, guitar rock, aggro pop, and psychedelia, transmuting all the disparate elements into a compelling listen that veers just this side of a novelty record. Recorded i… |

Flicka $0.99 Can a wild horse with a bad attitude and a not-quite-wild but pretty darn sullen teenage girl with a bad attitude be the best things that ever happened to each other? Though we guess the answer pretty early on in Flicka, it doesn’t diminish the feel-good family film one bit. The film is a remake of the 1947 My Friend Flicka itself based on the bestselling (and still riveting) novel by Mary O’Hara,… |

See Spot Run $3.30 A family film for an era when “family film” means scatological jokes, gratuitous violence, and shapeless storytelling, See Spot Run is about par for the course. Punctuated by many a lowbrow moment (scenes of combustible zebra flatulence, for instance), Spot has trouble staying true to its major story line despite the latter’s redeeming qualities. That story concerns an FBI-trained bull mastiff who… |
