What kind of HD camcorder should I get for amateur movies?

Question

I need a cheap ($150 to $250) high definition camcorder that has good picture quality for cheap films and records onto DVD/harddrive/card. Preferably not a vertical style camcorder. What would be the best quality and easiest to use?

Answer 1

Canon and Sony are good brands for camcorders. I recommend Canon ZR900 Mini-DV Camcorder . A decent deal for it is only  $212 instead of $250..

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

There is no high definition in your price range with good picture quality - or good audio, for that matter.

Entry point is the Canon HV20, HV30, Sony HDR-HC7 and HC9.
