Nikon d3100 or Canon eos rebel t3 / 1100D?

waterproof camera 60 ft image

Ellie Love

I'm looking for a camera to record home skatebording, hockey, and snowboarding videos for youtube. I don't want to be a photographer or anything.

Which do you suggest?

The canon is about 100 cheaper, so I'm thinking that.

I found a list of all the best sports cameras in the market now:

For your skateboarding movie i would recommend the GoPro HD Motorsports Hero. Its a really good camera with great results and its light on the pocket too. Its features include:
-Professional-grade full HD video up to 1080p
-60 frames per second option in 720p and WVGA resolutions provides liquid smooth slow
motion playback
-Videos can be easily edited with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker
-Industry's widest angle (170º) and sharpest lens captures more of the scene, including you
-Includes easy-to-apply mounts for attaching camera to any helmet, motorcycle, car, ATV, jet
ski, snowmobile, boat, or virtually any vehicle.
-Impact-resistant housing is waterproof to 180 ft (60 meters)

Answer
Like he said, also you can get the Kodak PlaySport Zx3 or Zx5. They take good well actually great video! It has WVGA, 720p, 720p 60 fps, and 1080p. The Zx5 has better video quality and the Zx3 has a little better sound. They are waterproof. But the Zx5 is dustproof and shockproof. The Zx3 has a external battery you can take out. The Zx5 is internal and you have to send it in to replace the battery. I have the Zx5. I love mine. The Zx3 has a Mini HDMI cable that it comes with one and the Zx5 has a Micro HDMI cable that doesn't come with it in the box. In the box is a paper that you can register you camera for free. I got mine for free. Shipping may apply where you live, it can be free or not be free. The Zx3 comes with an AV cable. The Zx5 does not. The Zx3 has more accessories that comes with it than the Zx5 does. Also it has a reset button the Zx5, but I think it may have a reset button on the Zx3 but I don't know. You can buy a remote for them too and floating wrist strap or lanyard. Or however you spell it. They both hold up to 32GB SDHC or just SD cards. It needs to be class 4 or higher. I have a couple of them. 2 8's, 2 4's and a couple more. So yeah. This is a great camera to use, if you don't want that, get the Kodak PlayTouch. It's a good camera too except that it's not waterproof. But hey. They come in cool colors too! The Zx5 has DIS (Digital Image Stabilization) and the Zx3 has EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) that you can turn off and the Zx5, you can't turn it off. The Zx5 is better on that one. They are great cameras, takes 5.1 Megapixel pictures too! If you want more details, type Kodak Playsport Zx3 or Zx5 manual. It does full HD :) it's waterproof up to 10 ft(3 meters) and shockproof up to 5 ft(1.5 meters).
