A $600 camera that recorded in a proprietary format forced expensive conversion and lost quality anyway. Modern smartphones shoot well enough for social media, websites, and marketing videos without the hassle or cost.
do not think that you need to go out and purchase a video camera. Now I did that. I purchased a video camera. I probably spent $600 to $800 on it. And at the time it did all this great HD stuff and all that. And what I found out later was to get the HD high resolution, one, you don't need that on the internet. And two, it put it in a proprietary format. Which didn't work anywhere. I had to convert it to put it on the internet. And then I lost that HD part of the video. So that was a complete total waste of money to buy that. Just use your cell phone. That's it. Cell phones these days have good enough cameras for any marketing video you're going to do. Now you're not going to do like a commercial you're going to put up on TV. Probably not, but for just general social media videos, video marketing, things that are going on your website, cell phones are fine.
