Q: QuestionI was told to check out this series of cameras for taking video of the sky when it's dark to film stars.. is this camera good for this?

Asked 7 years ago by Nightsky.

• A:Answer I just bought this camera and I haven’t tried that yet. I did read from professionals that those are the most difficult photos to take. I have an old Sony camcorder and I took fireworks photos and boat parade videos and night and they turned out good. It’s and old handy cam that I have. The sound was perfect, just like you were there. Some Best Buy stores have these camera workshops I think th first Saturday of the month. See if you cans fine one and get in on it. I’m sure they can help you.
