The models we suggest at <a href="http://talkbank.org/dv">http://talkbank.org/dv</a> are based on the idea that people don't want to spend more than maybe $1000 for a camcorder. However, if you have a budget that goes up to $3000 you can start to get into professional level equipment and for $10,000 you can get a real professional unit. However, quality depends on more than just the camera. Equally important are mikes and tripods.</div><div><br></div><div>--Brian MacWhinney</div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 22, 2012, at 5:10 AM, Darinka Andjelkovic wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div lang="SR" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Dear collegues,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">We are in position to buy a digital camera for our child language acquisition projects which include recordings of spontaneous children production as well as experiments with prerecorded video settings with small toys.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Could any of you suggest a digital camera that would properly serve our needs:<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt; "><span>-<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span>fair quality of digital speech recording in natural setting of homes and kindergardens<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt; "><span>-<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span>fair quality of digital video recording in rather low-light natural setting of homes and kindergardens<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt; "><span>-<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span>fair quality of optical zoom for the purpose of small-distance recording of small toys (for experimental studies)<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">About two years ago we had an opportunity to use the Canon Legria HF M31 for the purpose of recording small toys, and it showed rather good quality of optical zoom, which was lacked by other home cameras that we tried.
