I have realized that I really need to get a new camera to capture my work to be able to market myself. Now, the problem is that cameras are generally rather bad at correctly representing monochromatic light sources accurately, meaning that your pictures/videos look nothing like the actual laser. I suspect it will be hard to find the spectral response curves for the different cameras, so I turn to you. The collective experience of this forum is probably the best there is in this area.
So, basically I'm looking for a camera in the 200€ price class with the following characteristics:
- Accurate monochromatic color representation at common laser wavelengths (440-500nm, 532nm, 630-670nm)
- Good video capture. High resolution video at 25+ fps. Must not be in quicktime format, because I hate it.
- Resolution for photos does not need to be great
- Good S/N-ratio. Must be able to capture in dark conditions with little noise
- SDHC support
- Good battery type and low current draw
- Easy to take with you, as I'll be going to raves all over Europe taking photos and videos.
Am I missing any important points? Any suggestions on cameras welcome.
