shoppinnut Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hopefully someone will have some advice/tips for me. I've been wanting to get a new camcorder for some time now. My problem is, which one I should get. I don't have too many options that I MUST have, but a few that I would like to have. I want it to be VERY easy to watch what I've taped, whether I have to hook it up, or pop it into the dvd player. I also want to be able to shoot in low light/night light and want a good zoom for my kids soccer/basketball games. I guess the main thing would be the ease of watching what I've taped. There are so many different kinds such as High 8, DV, DVD, etc, that I don't know where to begin. It probably won't get used a whole lot, so I want to keep it under $400. I know there are a few on BF sales, so does anyone have any suggestions?
KSet Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I just bought the mindv Panasonic camcorder that Best Buy has for $159. I read reviews, and it seems pretty easy to use. I can't wait to get it.
RossMAN Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Look for a MiniDV camcorder from Sony, JVC, Panasonic or Canon. Here's a list of camcorders on sale during BF.
kellyd Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I just bought the Panasonic camcorder from Best Buy online and now my email says that it is on backorder. I wonder if I will get it?
