The larger majority of my material is lossless capture from the computer rather than image based capture from a camcorder or dslr.

The tool I use depends on the situation.

If its desktop capture for a tutorial or similar then I like Camtasia.

If it is game capture, the program I most prefer is PlayClaw as it has several options FRAPS does not have that are very handy. If I run into a compatibility issues with PlayClaw as its not as well established then I use FRAPS as a fallback.

For live streams I use XSplit, and I create VOD's via XSplit as well in lue of the for mentioned game capture programs.

If I need to take pictures for say a product review I use a Nikon D70

Video is done with a Samsung H205

Microphones: I have a Blue Yeti that does all my on computer recording, and I just got a Zoom H2N and a few mics to use for when I record with the camcorder.

Have a Shure SM58 to use for interview material, a Azden EX503 lapel mic for my standard commentary, and a HDTZ HT-81 shotgun mic for other situational recording.


Id love to get a DSLR for video like the Canon 60D or a better camcorder like the Canon M500 but budget restricts me from doing so, so I do the most I can with a limited budget and still get pretty professional results.

I use the Panasonic Lumix FZ-150
and Fraps for the Screen

I Have To Agree With ViciousXUSMC Because PlawClaw Has More Settings Than Fraps. How Long Can PlayClaw Rec When Free?

To record videos for Youtube I use the Hauppauge HD PVR along with the software for it. It records up to 1080p. And it's for recording console gaming. To make movies for competitions and such I use Canon 7D. Costs enough, but gives incredibly good results.

i use a Sony handycam to record my skits and stuff (has a wide angle lens cap which I think is cool). I use my built in webcam for some vlogs and some music stuff. I use a Blue Yeti for sound recording. Edit on Windows Movie Maker, saving up for After Effects

 

[John The Dad]

For most things I use a JVC GY-DV5000. For vloging I ether use a Flip HD or my iPhone
