Cameras - for Amateur Film-makers

Mobiles

Friends you can use your mobile phone’s camera to shoot video.  Such as

Camera phones are really very useful to the beginner filmmakers. These phones can give you great resolution videos from 720p to 4K Videos. The person who is interested in making films with mobile they can and they will find some interesting software to fill their need regarding lenses, after effects, and many more.

Almost every mobile can edit your recorded videos with the downloaded editing software. The main problem comes when it comes to sound and storage. So if you guys want to record your video with good Audio quality you need to provide a microphone to the subject and for distance recording you have to buy an Audio Recorder and for long video recording you need sufficient space in your storage or extra SD card.

Camcorders

Next good option is your camcorders. Many brands are available in the market. Such as

• Sony
• Panasonic
• Canon
• Samsung
• JVC

Camcorders are really simple and limited featured cameras for those who don’t want to go in technical details.

Generally, camcorders shoot in 1080p resolution, but some of the cameras shoot in 4K resolution also. There is inbuilt microphone in every camcorder but to capture decent audio, need to use external microphone.

Camcorders use to have an inbuilt zoom to focus on your subject. Few camcorders come with a touchscreen LCD monitors. Camcorders are good for those who want to make a simple video.

DSLR

There are many brands of DSLRs are available in the market like,

DSLR’s meaning is Digital Single Lens Reflex. Generally, DLSRs comes with double feature Still and Footage camera. So you can take advantage of photography and video shooting. Usually DSLRs give HD and 4K resolution quality, but you can enhance the quality by using interchangeable lenses.

To capture decent audio you need to spend on external audio recorders and few more gears to record a stable video by mounting the camera on a tripod. The video will be shaky and unusable if you handle the camera on your own.

DSLRs are for little advance video makers. Who knows the basics of the shootings.
