Author: Richa Jha

Do you have a knack for great video content? Then you are reading the right stuff at the moment. Anyone who is in the field of making videos for popular social networking sites in India knows that a good camera or camcorder is always best to shoot your footage with. Blurry shots, low-sharpness or noise filled scenes are a big turn-off for anyone playing a video online. People want a nicely shot clip to get entertained and share it with others.

So, here are five important features that you should know before getting the new equipment:

1. Get the proper format –

Since the analog cameras with video cassettes and mini DVs are slowly going away, it is the age of digital cameras. Even the social sites that you will upload your video on, functions on a fully digital platform. You should go for Digital tapes or better yet, opt for cameras with an SD card facility. This would sync well with the editing software that you might use.

2. The right sensor –

Digital cameras are available with two kinds of sensors;

a.) CCD – Charged Coupled Device, and b.) CMOS – (Complementary metal oxide semiconductor) While CCDs are still in use in many DSLRs, CMOS are the future as they are much cheaper and give a much higher resolution.

3. Go for higher resolution –

As a thumb rule, the higher the resolution, the better the image. With higher resolution, you can shoot images to put online for hd desktop backgrounds, or hd videos. Higher resolution also gives you sharper pictures. 720 lines of resolution or 720p, is commonly referred to as the beginning of high resolution for a camera.

4. Look for the sound –

This is especially useful when you have to upload a music video on social media site. To record and upload Bollywood music online, you may need a camera with good sound recording facility in case you want to cut the budget of buying expensive sound equipment.

5. Check for Automatic functions –

In this fast digital age, everything has to be finished in a jiffy. Content has to be always ready for upload on popular social networking sites in India. Having good automatic controls allows you to pre-load camera settings and end your shoot quickly. It saves time which is usually spent in manually adjusting the knobs.

Hope these tips will help you get a great camera the next time you plan to shoot a clip.
