I would love to do video reviews of my lasers but I have no camera. I might sell my monitor or trade it for one here on the forums. What is the best camera you can use for reviews?

Just my $0.02:
I've head pretty good luck with the Flip Ultra HD - low cost, easy to use and does surprising well in low light. In better lighting conditions the quality is much better than I would have expected for a < $200 USD video camera. Has a standard tripod mount on the bottom, which is pretty much a requirement if you're going to use a camera for any type of review.
Also has the upside that it's small enough to carry with you, so it's always handy.

I did some research on this camera. Thank you. I will buy it later. For now I bought the lifecam from microsoft. Here is a test review I did with it.

Captain Dan - You may need to change your title to, "What VIDEO camera do you use?". I know you may know what you mean but poor old Niko has missed the point. AGAIN!!!

Actually, the Nikon D90 shoots really good video from what I've seen, at 720p no less. Not that I would use an SLR for video personally, but the camera will do it.

A webcam and Yawcam saving to a file. An S3 IS works pretty well too, but I like using a computer.
On another note, if you have a Canon, you can get custom control "firmware" to allow it to auto-zoom and do other features while recording via their video functions. No filesize limitations, no lack of zoom or other controls, etc. I have yet to try it with the S3.

I'm a Canon man myself but I did look up the D90 and didn't see any video in the specs. I stand/sit corrected, thanks. I see it now HDMI output; the lot... In this case then all my posts in this thread are clearly humourless and I misunderstood from the very start. My apologies to Niko too as I clearly DIDN'T get his post!
(Changing the title still stands though)

Well, my friend, I actually OWN a D90... you should check the reviews I did for the Evo Pro and the PD Pro, both were shot with the D90 (with the exception of one burning vid.). 720p video is good, but I wouldn't recommend it for the video features but for the excellent picture quality.

It's decent for a 5 year old video camera
I'd like to get something along the lines of this with XLR mic support
But they run at least 2 grand and up
