Digital camcorder for travel.?

Question

I'm looking for reviews/suggestions for digital camcorders.

I'm on a limited budget, prefer under $200USD, but will go as far as $300. It needs to travel well; I'll be going out of the country in two months and it will need to survive some fairly rugged travel.

I don't need a ton of fancy features however I definitely want to be able to change out memory cards and be able to film in low light areas. And I want good video and sound quality for my money. I'd also like it to be somewhat moisture resistant in the event that I'm filming during rainy weather.

Thanks in advance. =)

Answer 1

Any digital camcorder will be able to transfer the video/audio signal via firewire to your PC.  The program you use to import the signals will determine what type of file it wil be.
