can you use this to make a regular camera, or camcorder given the right materials?

Yes. However the quality will be "1990s" camcorder level. Or lower. It's not HD and is pretty low. But yes, you could make a very small one.

Yes it is, I shoot diy tutorial videos with this camera on a stand and it works so well. I was very impressed with the clarity of the videos I've taken with this camcorder as well

There are several options for turning your camcorder into a web cam...none are easy, most are not cheap, and all produce lower quality than just recording and transferring.

Hi, -it's rotatable but we can't confirm whether it can hold a regular camcorder. You can try it. Thank you.

Yes, but you will need video editing software. Very easy to do if u know how, probably a a mat idea to have someone do it for you if not.

Order another camera! Unfortunately (Or fortunately) it's a cheap camera and parts will break on it. You can use the other camera as a parts camera . Also, you can always so some interesting experiments with extra parts! However, if you're crafty you can probably fashion a couter knob out of something simple like a screw, a pin, a guitar knob, etc.

It's made for an external flash only. I'm sure you could probably rig it to your camera.

Yes, you probably could if you have self stick velcro. The "camera" is very light weight.

Yes, not like a professional camera, but it works very well for the normal use.

You can use your own tripod, comes with a standard 3/8" hole that fits nearly all tripods. Make sure however that your tripod is sturdy enough, you'll need a heavy duty tripod (non cheapie one you can find for $50-100 on amazon) if you plan on using larger camcorders

You can't without modify since the hot shoes are different for the camcorder and DSLR. I did some grinding to fit the hot shoe to my camcorder. There might be an adapter you can buy. Not sure.

Search for "tripod" right here on Amazon. You can use any regular tripod for this cam.

Yes. You can set the specs you need in Preferences before you start recording.

Yes you can. My wife has the camera today, otherwise I would tell you how, but I kinda have to do it.

there are batteries that are made to fit it. You can buy spares online that are not too expensive. You cannot use batteries that are not made for this or similar camcorders.

Yes it can very well be used with camcorders. But this does not have a panning handle which for me is a must have while I am making videos.
