I need a new digital camera for photos and also like to have a new video camera.
I now have a Cannon point and shoot. Problem is it most always says "Battery Low" and shut down. Fresh batteries don't help. Know problem with this model and wayyyyyyyyyyy out of warranty.
I also own a Sony DV movie camera. Works great but transferring movies is a Pain. Have to transfer to DVD first before transferring to computer to edit. can only transfer to DVD recorder because of the hook up used. Cant use USB to transfer. The camera is maybe 8 years old.
My question, Should I be looking for separate cameras or should I look into a digital point and shoot that also records videos? Not sure how good they are at doing both. Also wireless transfer would be a huge plus.
Any recommendations, Don't want to bust the bank $$$ but also want something good.
This is for very casual use. Just family stuff to post on-line and maybe a you tube video etc.
EDIT- I was looking at a Canon camera http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consum...rshot_sx280_hs Read the reviews, Looks like my battery issue may be a Canon issue and not just my old camera.
