Cheap Video Camera

[TheGrim123321]

Looking for a cheap video camera that records in at least 720p (my phone doesn't even record in 720 so don't suggest that I use my phone). Not looking for anything extremely good. Budget is around 100-150 us dollars just looking for something to film skits with it and do some photography

Head on over to Ebay and look for a cheap DSLR or you can buy something like a Flip Video HD which was my first camcorder that recorded 720p video.

Camcorders  under $150

Digital cameras under $150, quite a number of them are capable of recording video

Otherwise look in the second hand/used market for a higher level camera that is being sold cheap because it is used and perhaps a bit old.

I can recommend the YI action camera as a cheap camera that I believe works well https://www.amazon.com/YI-Action-Camera-Official-U-S/dp/B016EIGEGU/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1466475198&sr=1-1&keywords=Yi. It has a wide angle lens that does distort the image slightly (majorly in some cases) but is a overall good camera for a cheap price. It does not have a display but can be steamed to your phone screen to set up a shot.

 

For that price point, used really is the best way to go.

You can buy a clip on rear display for like $10 

 

There is lens correction on the camera to turn off fish eye
