Any recommendations? I was looking at the Sony Handycam line but generally Sony seems to be overpriced in everything they do (although I did have a handycam a while ago and loved it, lasted a while too).
I basically want the best HD I can get for the money. Ideally with microphone line-in and headphone line-out. What's a good camera to help make stuff look purty? |

Buy a DSLR with video option. Then you can film 1080 or 720 with 50/60 frames pr second (depending on what format you are using, PAL or NTSC) for making them super slow motion clips. plus you can take good pictures.
And if you want another lens, you can buy a new one.
For around 1000 USD you can get a Canon 550D or 600D. that is and excellent camera.
But beware, it gets addictive, buying new lenses.
Just got my Fisheye, that is a fun toy |

I saved a ton on my HD camcorder by buying the previous years model which had minimal changes from the current year. When I bought mine a couple years ago I went with a top of the line Sony and got it for $750 compared to that years current model which was $1100. The only difference between them was that the newer one used SD cards and the one I bought used memory sticks.
The offerings from all the manufacturers seem overwhelming at first, but if you sort them all out you'll see that the differences between models within a particular brand are minimal. You can save a lot of dough if you do your homework. _________________ "I'm not a professional wakeboarder, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night". |
