I really enjoy the videos people post and share about canoe adventures and canoe related tips. I would like to get a video camera, both to record family events and for canoe trips, but I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to the options that are out there. I could probably search around for answers to my following questions, but I want to here from folks who use them around canoes.
Does anyone use their digital camera to record video's that I see online here and YouTube or are they always dedicated video cameras?
I see the GoPro Hero3 at $200, is that suitable? It would fit my budget.
What about battery life on an extended trip, how much to record a short YouTube type video would you need?
What about solo self portraits I see out there, do they require alot of editing to cut out the guy running to shut off the camera? Do video camera's have a delay mode? Is there such a thing as a remote on/off?
Thanks for any information. And thanks for posting those great videos, looks like they might be the way to go in the future, or maybe they are now and I'm just late as usual.
