kathy_judd Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 <p>Hi everyone,<br> <br />I looking at doing videos for fun. Since the length will be more than 30+ minutes I can't use my DSLR because it doesn't have auto restart when file limit is reached.<br> <br />It's very hard to find camcorders with adjustable aperture, iso, and shutter controls. The only camcorder I can find is Canon VIXIA HF G20 but it's a little out of my price range. <br> <br />Do you know of any camcorders $200-$350 price range with full manual controls?</p> <p>Thanks,<br> Kathy</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parv Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 <p>I seriously doubt, but would be happy to be proved wrong, that the video camera you want exists. <p>You could look for used one (at B&H, Adorama, KEH) for Canon HF G20 (should go for G30, really), Panasonic HC-V750 or -V770 with <i>some</i> manual control over the settings.

pete w Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 <p>Kathy at that price you would have to consider used.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 <p>"Since the length will be more than 30+ minutes"<br /><br />Why would you be shooting continuously for 30 minutes? Even if you're documenting a school play, etc,, there are always natural break points where you can start and stop. In most video work, individual shots in an edited, final product seldom last more than a few seconds each, maybe a minute or two if it's a talking head.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_higdon Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 <p>Canon has the HFG20 in stock refurb for $449. So, as you say, it's only a little bit out of your range.<br> https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/vixia-hf-g20-refurbished</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
