Which Camcorder should i get?

Question

I want to make movies but i don't know wat kind of camcorder to get! If you could keep your suggestions $300 or lower that would be great! and is your suggestion compatable with mac?

Answer 1

MiniDV will be compatible with mac. In fact, most Mac computers have firewire ports so you should be set. Look at MiniDV camcorders under $200 here http://www.squidoo.com/CamcordersUnder20...

Answer 2

Well, I have the answer for you right here.

You seriously are talking about a low budget camcorder.

Usually you can't expect much or get anything good with that amount.

However, there is 1 camcorder for that price and under which is good.

The Canon MD160.

It has a 'Leica Dicomar' Lens, which is one of the best if you ask me.

35x and up Optical Zoom, and a Full 'Canti Nosante' Image Stabiliser.

It has an 800k (800,000 pixels) effective and 1200k total pixels.

It's really the only one that will offer you a remarkable quality and worthness for the price, trust me!
