Hello all,
I have a baby on the way, due in just 6 weeks! I want to record its precious moments for posterity, and of course to embarrass future boyfriends/girlfriends (we don't know the sex of the baby). I don't know what to get and I could use some advice!
I've never owned a camcorder, so I want something that's reasonably simple to pick up and use. But, I also want it to have features for me to 'grow into' as my understanding develops.
It needs to be compact, with an intuitive interface and good image quality. Decent battery-life would be good.
I suppose I could stretch to about £300-£400 max (around $500), but of course I'd prefer to pay less... yes, I'm a cheapskate... I don't mind getting a used one, and I suppose I'd get more bang for the buck that way.
While I'm on the subject, what video editing software should I start on? I've heard good things about OpenShot and PiTiVi.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks for reading!
