Hi guys, I am currently looking to buy one for my father. The problem is that I never had one so I don't know what features to look for. So I need some guidance. If you had to ask me about the usage, my answer would be that he will use it to capture family vids nothing major.

Thanks guys. Looking forward for your replies.

I don't know a particular model to recommend, but if you list your price range that will be fine. Also what recording medium your father would prefer? Tape/SD card/DVD/Hard Disk based.

As a general tip, pay very good attention to optical zoom, it's much important than digital zoom, since it does not affect picture quality.

    • Fresh evidence suggest new Apple TV hardware may be coming later this year

    • iPhone 17 series rumored to be unveiled on September 9

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 17 series rumored to be unveiled on September 9 by Hamid Ganji Every September holds special significance for Apple enthusiasts: it's when the company unveils its latest iPhone models. As the launch of the iPhone 17 series draws closer, speculation is mounting about the exact date Apple will unveil the new devices. The German website iPhone-Ticker might have the answer. The outlet claims internal information from German mobile phone providers shows that Apple will pull back the curtain on the iPhone 17 series on Tuesday, September 9. This means Apple's event for the latest iPhones is 35 days away. The September 9 timeframe for unveiling the iPhone 17 series actually aligns with last year's release date for the iPhone 16 series. For comparison, the iPhone 15 models were released on September 12, and the iPhone 14 debuted on September 7. Apple never releases phones on September 11, and the reason is quite apparent. Apple's release and preorder pattern for the iPhone 17 series also won't be different this year. After debuting the iPhones on Tuesday, September 9, preorders begin on Friday, September 12. Deliveries also start on September 19. The US, China, Europe, and Japan are the most important markets for Apple, so customers in these areas can expect to get their hands on the iPhone 17 series sooner than anybody else. But the iPhone 17 series might not debut alone at the upcoming September event. Apple Watch Series 11, the new Apple Watch Ultra, and the next-generation AirPods Pro are other products we expect to make a debut alongside the iPhone 17 models. All the previous rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 series converge on one key point: a significantly redesigned back, featuring changes such as a repositioned camera module and a relocated Apple logo. An alleged iPhone 17 Pro unit was recently spotted in public, seemingly confirming the rumors about its redesigned back panel. Apple is also rumored to replace the Plus variant in the iPhone 17 series with a so-called Air or Slim model.
    • “Earth 2.0?” Breakthrough Discovery Reveals Potentially Habitable Super-Earth

      By +thexfile · Posted

      A new detection method reveals a potentially habitable super-Earth. The breakthrough boosts the search for life-supporting planets. “Are we alone?” This enduring question has fascinated humanity for generations. The discovery in 1995 of the first exoplanet orbiting a star similar to our Sun marked a pivotal moment in addressing that mystery. Since then, exoplanet research has become a central focus of modern astronomy, offering critical insights into how planets form, evolve, and possibly support life. A major objective in this field is finding Earth-like life, which hinges on locating planets with Earth-like conditions in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars. In their search for Earth-like worlds, an international team led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with other institutions, made a significant breakthrough using a method called Transit Timing Variation (TTV). https://scitechdaily.com/earth-2-0-breakthrough-discovery-reveals-potentially-habitable-super-earth/

      >The latest tvOS 26 even hints that the new Apple TV could come with a built-in camera. Sigh... No one is asking for that.
