As the title says - im going to be doing some traveling and i want a HD camcorder. It will be my first time with one, and primarily ill be using it in daylight and ill always be around light.

I'd like to have a microphone on or in it and an external light maybe doable if the price is right.

I really don't know what brand is reccomended and I don't know how much size of HD would be sufficient. Its going to be used primarily for documentation and a pesonal blog video.


Trying to keep the spending limit under $650, id even get it used from ebay if need be.

I have the JVC Everio 60 Gig with microSD slot. I love it.

 

how is the video once its on the computer?

 

shit man. i can't play it on my computer since it doesn't recognize the file type, my PS3 does... The quality is awesome when you play it as a raw file on PS3. This is the way I do it...

Move the files from your camcorder to the 1TB hard drive.
[JVC]-->[Computer]<--[1TB-hd]

The 1TB hd hooks up to your PS3
[1TB-hd]-->[PS3]-->[HD TV]

 

Honestly the ONLY one I'd get is

New Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera With Full HD Video Capture Feature

The regular camcorders are obsolete and have shitty cameras on them. This method gives you a HUGE variety of lens types you can use as well as still being a usefull SLR.

I'd not buy a regular HD camcorder.

 

uh

your computer doesn't recognize the file type and your ps3 does? wtf filetype is it?

 

MTS files
