Infrared Night Vision
Sony Handycam with Infrared Night Vision?
I want to buy a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 but I've heard that its nighttime filming isn't very good. I want to film at night (in the dark) so I was wondering if this camera has some kind of infrared night vision? If not, is there some kind of external infrared illuminator I can buy for it later on?
PS: How could I install it? Also, it would be awesome if you know of any camcorders (Sony or otherwise) with built-in infrared nightvision. Thanks!
Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 NOOOOOOOO!
For your own sake DO NOT GET A DVD camcorder, they have the lowest quality of all the cameras, so many people have problems with the disks.
A flash drive, camera would be great for you, have a look at any of the Sony range that will be in your price range. you are looking for a camera that will record in 0 LUX total darkness, the range on them is not great but good enough for most people. Personally Sony seem to have the best "Night Vision" have tried a few, If the camera already has it you can add another infrared Emitter.
Seriously though really think about not getting a DVD camcorder.
Good luck
