I was needing some help in trying to buy a camcorder and which kinds I should look for. I see so many different recordable media nowdays and not sure which way to go. I would like to stay under $500 for one and just use it for basic things like filiming kids soccer games and school concerts and just home type movies. The other big issue I have is I would like something that would make it very easy to share the movie with family thousands of miles away.
