Hey Guys; Well; I'm not totally decided yet; but I think I'm gonna get a camcorder soon....[maybe] ...so I want some suggestions because I looked all over cnet; but I'm not necessarily the type of person that likes to live by those reviews; so here's my situation below: 1. My budget is in the 200-400 dollar range [NO HIGHER than 400 please!!] 2. Along w/ an internal mic; The cam needs to also have an external mic input; because I'll mainly be doing videos of me playing guitar.......and the rest will prolly be of just the family @ home and general use....nothing too special.... 3. I'd also like it to have A/V inputs so I can hook up my VCR to the camcorder 4. I defenitely want it to use MiniDV tapes--any mini dvd/mem card/compact flash style cameras will NOT Do!!! I relly want this to be a MiniDV! 5. If there's any important features that I should be looking for when 'shopping around'; let me know so I don't get screwed by some sales guy and end up w/ a pos cameralol Thank You; and I hope this gives you a guideline and it's not Too much of a 'want' list...lol Thx again AD; P.S. Oh yea; the reason why I'm on such a tight budget is 'cause I'm still a young kid and don't want to blow all my money on just a camcorder......
Sounds like this is a model that should be on the top of your list: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-Elura-100-Camcorder-Review.htm Has all the things that you need and according to camcorderinfo.com is the best model in the category under $400.
ahhh yes; I thank you very much for this.... ...it's funny because I was looking @ this one a while ago and wasn't too sure; but now that you've shown me the link and everything; I think I'll trust your word and go with this one I thank you very much; this cam'll suit me fine!
