    Default HD Camcorders

    Can I get a recommendation? price range up to 700$~

    I have been looking at a lot of Canon's, but also see the HD gopro out...though it lacks zoom, so that is out.


    Thanks!

    Most flash memory based camcorders are based on AVCHD, which is good, but you need a powerful computer if you want to do post-processing. HDV, aka tape based camcorders, record in MPEG-2 which most, if not all, editing programs accepts and it's easier on your computer. Another advantage of HDV is the tapes themselves as they can be used as archives rather than filling up your hard drive. MiniDV tapes are cheap too, around $20 for a 10pk of 60min tapes. GoPro-HD, while an excellent compact camera, is really a wearable, POV, camera. So it depends on what and how you want to capture the action.

    Best place to look for samples of consumer and prosumer camcorders is Vimeo. Just type in the model number you're interested in and a crapload of results come back.

    Check these out, it's the Canon HV40, tape based camera
    Search videos for 'hv40' on Vimeo

    I have been looking at Cann0n, but also would like see his HD go pro...though it lacks grooming, so that is out.


    Thanks!

    Here is a good place to search for super discount... Though, you will me supporting China... but what ever. GPS watches for 100 bucks... I'm sure they got HD cameras.
