Looking for a camcorder for home videos

Question

I really want a camcorder to be able to take home videos of my newborn son, however we cannot afford much right now. I am more than willing to pay but I am not looking at spending more than $250....can anyone help or is anyone looking to sell one?

Answer 1

Yep - miniDV is the best choice, although you will need computer to convert the miniDV tape into DVD disc. (Alternatively, you can always play it from the tape directly from the camcorder onto your tv - it has video in/out)

Look on eBay, I bought 2 Canons there (ZR 700 and ZR 900 I think) and they are excellent. And good price too, especially today since those are models 2006 and 2007.

This is new one for $300 incl shipping and you will get a lot of stuff, more than just the camcorder...

Answer 2

Have a look for entry level MiniDV camcorders from Canon, Sony, JVC or Panasonic.
