What is your ultimate goal? To shoot video to watch, unedited, on your home TV or to make YouTube or presentation videos for groups?

The latter. Thanks for your interest.

If you’re only doing YouTube video from a fixed location you might be better off with a good quality webcam.

Ask the folks at B&H what they might recommend.

Q.-----What is your ultimate goal? To shoot video to watch, unedited, on your home TV or to make YouTube or presentation videos for groups?

A-----The latter. Thanks for your interest.

With that answer you left the $60 video camera niche. More important than resolution is quality of color rendition across a broad range of lighting conditions. Cheap cams will show dark shadow areas and dim lighting with large swaths of blocks with little gradation.

Bottom line , don't buy a no name camera without having handled one in your hand and seen its output on a screen the same size as you would use in presentations.

Scan the offerings on Amazon, paying particular attention to the Q&A and reviews. This will give you a realistic feel for what is available within your budget and intended use. Bad video presentations can sink you even if what you're selling, idea or product, is sterling.

I'm about to sew a pocket on a kite that will hold my old cell phone.

I want to get pictures of my property with a bit more resolution than GoogleEarth® gives me.
