yes, you might be able to watch raw 720p, but to edit it, you will definitly struggle to dosomething descent...
If your only goal is to put a non-edited run on youtube... Even if it will lag, Vegas or premiere will manage to let you do that....
Yes I´d pretty much be happy to do that, it feels like getting an SD camera these days doesn´t make sense considering how quickly the stuff gets out-dated, and I will have access to a PC that would handle the load of proper editing, just as long as I can use my laptop to store and watch the footage. Thanks for the help.
I just pulled up the specs on my digital camera, (small point and shoot sony) and it turns out the video resolution on it is 640 x 480 (30 fps). And this turns out to be higher than the GoPro standard (512x384 (30 fps)).
I am not really at all happy with the video that the Sony shoots, bit grainy. Does this mean that the standard gopro will have worse quality video?
I want to get the HD but the pc issue is stopping that for now.
hmmm, just placed the order, USPS + slowas####localcustoms should take about a month, by then the hype shall have died, but looking forward to it nonetheless! haha
very probably yes...
HD videos requires fast hard drive (Raid 0 is a good solution) and high processing capacities...
AND you have a laptop (90% of chances for it to have a 5400rpm harddrive...)
So yes I would say.... forget about it.
You might not be able to even WATCH what you've recorded (most computers that are not "geek owned" and older than 2 years old lag when whatching 720p divx ), let alone edit it...
What are you talking about? My laptop is over 4 years old,NOT CORE 2 DUO like his, it handles HD video just fine and I edit .mov non standard (non .mts non avchdlite files) in premiere pro 3.0 without issue.
Raid 0 is fine and dandy but ultimately the CPU is the limiting factor in frame processing...(that rendering time is your CPU rendering those frames...the HD is not usually maxed out at that point)
And todays laptops come with 7200rpm (mine is 5400!)

Wow, glad to hear that, been worried about it, especially seeing as I went ahead on the camera! yay

Go add a couple layers of effect on your 1080p raw footage you try to edit and try to REALLY edit footage with the music beat and you will NOT be able to EDIT a video.
Now if you put shots together of one run, render it and put it on youtube right away, it can be fine, eventhough most laptops my friends have wont even read 1080p, this being due to how they take care of their windows .
I'm not at my first video with REAL editing so I kind of know what I'm talking about
It was done on a Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with a 7200rpm 320gigs HD... Guess what... It's a miracle I could edit it correctly and it was a mess... I CANNOT edit 1080p videos that way on this computer. This was only filmed on 720p @30fps.
