Why buying a video camera online, without testing in real life, can be tricky…

Posted on by

Digital video cameras are incredibly popular for capturing family memories, holiday home movies, and even short films. There are a vast number of different models out there, each with their own special features and quirks. If you’re looking to buy, doing your research online is one thing, but there’s a limit to what you can discover. For example, are your needs the same as the reviewers’? What might be a standout feature for some might be completely unnecessary for you. Plus, there’s no way to get a ‘feel’ for the video camera without physically holding it and trying out its various features.

Why take the risk with a less-than-ideal video camera? Come to Kirk’s for some one-on-one sales advice and demonstration. We have both an online presence and a physical store – find a model that you like on our website, then come to our Ringwood location to try out your decision for yourself. If the camera isn’t quite to your liking, feel free to demo another model.

Our staff are experts in all things camera. They’re more than happy to recommend a digital video camera and accessories to perfectly suit your lifestyle. What’s more, they can suggest ways for you to get the most out of your video camera, as well as how to take proper care of it, to ensure it provides many years of reliable performance. With service this good, choosing the right digital video camera is a piece of cake.

Camcorders and digital video cameras

Posted on by

Kirk’s Camera Supply doesn’t just deal in digital still cameras – we also stock a range of video cameras and accessories. Whatever your skill level, we carry a video camera that will suit your needs and budget. From families wishing to record those special moments, to film students producing high-quality homework, to professional moviemakers, we’ve got you covered.

Technology has progressed considerably since the days of the Super-8 camera, or even the humble Handycam. Full High-Definition (HD) video is now a reality, and is even included on several still cameras. Film and tape are no longer the media of choice, as hard disks, DVDs and flash memory provide greater storage and generally higher quality. Videos are now transferred digitally to computers where they can be edited in a non-linear fashion and kept safely on disk. The speed of the FireWire/IEEE 1394 interface means that video transfer is faster than ever.

Modern digital video cameras are exceptionally easy to use – it’s generally a case of ‘point and shoot’, and your memories are instantly recorded. A tripod is a very useful addition, especially with the advent of ‘video blogs’ where your thoughts are recorded, for example, during your travels, and posted online. Whatever project you have in mind, a digital video camera from us will suit it perfectly.

We carry an extensive range of digital video cameras and camcorders, as well as accessories to enhance your video experience. Caring for your camera, whether video or still, is important to ensure good results on every use. Come into Kirk’s Camera Supply, and find the video camera or accessories you’ve been looking for. Our expert staff are willing to assist you with your purchase.
