Hi guys,
I’m thinking of getting a video camera for recording dances. Needs to be able to record in low light in the clubs. Recommendations? What about this Flip thing I keep seeing?

Any updates on what you went with? Camera, Editing software etc.

I was told the Flip is no good for low lighting, so scratch that.
I’d prefer decent video captured from a camera, instead of taking junk video and trying to enhance it later with software on a desktop. One other option I’ve considered is a camera with a night vision mode, but I don’t like how those make everything look green (see [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ3_JQp0kV8[/video]).
If I find a good camera that fits the bill, I’ll let you know

I was wondering about that flip. I got a HD Vexia HF100 Cannon about two Christmases ago.
It’s a really good HD camera, as usual it’s so/so with really dark “club type” lighting. I really like the flash memory storage. I can’t imagine using anything else.
I also learned really quick that just as important as the camera is the video editing software that you will need/want. Back then there weren’t a lot of reliable software options (in PC.)
Good luck, and I think a vid camera is a priceless tool for salsa improvers.

Hey Marco, you were right about the video editing software, it does help, even with a mediocre camera! I shot this video at a club but it was too dark, but then I made it brighter with some editing software, [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuDJRKNzbdI[/video].
