I need help, please
« on: August 27, 2016, 10:54:48 pm »
A couple of years ago, I used a photo camera to record videos. It wasn't a great camera, but I think the quality of the videos is decent, more than enough. As an example, watch my first official Rubik record.

So that camera stopped working long time ago, and I want a new one. I've been told to buy one with 720 and 60fps, and I obviously have no idea about what that is, and I don't really have much interest in knowing it. What I want is something cheap that records nicely. As what I understand by cheap, let's say that 50 euros is NOT cheap, for example, although since Idk how much a camera usually costs, I don't know what to say...

If possible, I'd like it to be:
- Small or comfortable enough to be possible to use it easily on a tripod or something.
- Cheap... Important...
- Nice enough quality recording vids (like man, I recorded the video above with a photo camera and it looks great for me!)
- Long lasting battery if possible, or easy to use while charging at least.
- With memory enough to record at least all my solves in a Rubik competition (for example, in my last competition, my solves did sum a lot under 1 hour, so let's say that 1 or 2 hours of video memory).

I want to record basically Rubik solves with it. I don't want to go to a competition like last week and get an official sub 11 and have no video about it. I just hate those things.

I know the thing I want might be hard to find
But I know it exists and someone has it
So please, if you know the perfect one for me, send me a link.

Thank you in advance, sorry for long post and/or bad English.

I found this list on Google. Hopefully it helps you.  The list doesn't mention cell phones -- maybe you can get a phone with a good enough camera and combine two features in one!

Okay thank you.
I've been told good things about Xiaomi Yi, and it's one of the cheappest in your list too, so I'll probably go for that one. Thanks!
