Camera Experiments

In today's lesson we experimented with two types of Camera in order to choose the most suitable one. The two camera that we had the option out of is:

Canon Legria FS200

Sony Xacti HD 

In order to choose the most suitable camera to use, me and my team member decided to test the different camera's out. Whilst using the different cameras we took into consideration the effectivness of both settings. For instance, we tested the white balance, colour settings, focus settings, zoom in/out and general sharpen of both camera's. 

After testing me and my partner believed that the Canon Legria FS200 was the most suitable camera. This is due to the ease of filming, the effective white balance and also because we have had experience with this camera previously. This camera was also chosen as it has the light at the front of the camera which we thought was useful, especially since we filmed in dark settings. However, although we have chosen this camera, the Sony Xacti did have further benefits that our chosen camera does not have, for example the picture quality is better and also the size of the camera is more suitable. This does not outweigh our opinion on our the Canon Legria FS200 as we know that during the editing process we are able to adjust and edit sections that we feel unsure about.
