Best camcorder for amateur/professional filming?

Question

Hi , I'm going to start making videos and post on the popular video sharing website Youtube , but i can't decide which camcorder to buy ?

should i buy the official Youtube jvc Everio GZ-MS100 camcorder? or some other camcorders ?

I want to make really good videos , price doesnt matter , as long as it is a decent price ! can you give me the names or brands of camcorders

that might be good for my purpose? or that you might recomend?

Answer 1

If you want to use what the professionals or high end "prosumers" use you will not use a consumer-grade internal hard drive, SD-based flash memory or DVD based camcorders.

Short list:

Standard definition only:

Canon GL2, XL2

Sony DCR-VX2100

Panasonic DVX100A/B

Standard definition and High Definition:

Canon XHA1

Sony HDR-FX1, HVR-A1U, HVR-HD1000U, HVR-V1U, HVR-Z1U

Panasonic HVX200 series (uses P2 cards)

Red Scarlet (or Red One when it comes out next year)

There are several others, but this is a good place to start.

Since YouTube allows for high quality video now (h.264 720p format), using consumer-grade video will not look pro...
