Mugglemom Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Anyone researching these? I don't really care much about what kind or features, just best deal. THanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bursley2010 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm also looking around for the best deal...the one I like the best so far is in Best Buy's BF ad. The Samsung SC-DX103 DVD camcorder- it's got an SD slot as well so you can expand on the memory, digital image stabilizer, 34x optical zoom. It'll be $199 on BF.

childofsolitude Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm looking at the Aiptek one from Target for $70. Like you, I don't need a ton of different features. I just need something that's going to record video. The Aiptek brand of camcorders has received mixed reviews. I've noticed some people have commented on how quickly it goes through batteries but good quality camera batteries should solve that problem. I think that's the best deal I've seen so far.

wx4svr Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Take my advice... Don't choose something based on features. It will come back to bite you later. Choose something that works for you as far as features. Those Aiptek ones and the small hand helds from companies you have never heard of are generaly the ones you want to steer clear of. EXCEPT... the Flip Camera!! I have one that I carry in my SUV and it is just about as good as my Professional Cameras I use as part of my Biz.

yellowlilax Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 The Samsung SC-DX103 DVD camcorder hasn't had good reviews from what I've seen online. What I usually do is copy/paste the model name into amazon or similar and read the reviews. I wanted to get a camcorder this year, but I dont see any yet that are a big enough deal or good enough reviews to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to get a camcorder this year, but I dont see any yet that are a big enough deal or good enough reviews to buyAfter looking at the reviews on Amazon.. I then check them on http://www.cnet.com/ as well. They give a tech point of view review (They also give customer reviews). Then I way the two sites reviews. C-net doesn't sell anything, while Amazon does give pretty honest reviews, in the back of my mind, I still think they are in the business to sell.

racerfan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I am another person looking for information. I like the JVC Everio 30GB Hard Drive Camcorder for $299 at BB on BF. I also like the Panasonic 60GB Hard Drive at 6th Avenue for $298. Can anyone tell me if they have the Panasonic 60G. I went on Cnet but they dont have a review for the Panasonic. Since they are the same price for a difference of 30GB hard drive I was wondering what was wrong with the Panasonic:D I can get the one at 6th avenue now since there sale is going on right now. Please help someone???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLaRue Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 What about deals on HD camcorders? I would prefer an HD one but not seeing much out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panky5 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Yeah, go for Sony man, CX-12 is the one to go for, its at the epidome of everything and mind you, its smaller than any digital camera, well almost! if u wanna go a little heavier, go for SR-11, simply. CX-12 is going for $685 and it runs on memory stick, put in another 16GB stick and u have all u need, its just 1 pound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronLung2533 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 All right...Wife and I are having trouble deciding between the JVC Everio that's in the WalMart ad (can't see exactly the model, but I think it's this one - but I can't post links) and the Canon FS100 that Best Buy has on sale until Wednesday (and Amazon actually has cheaper). They both have roughly the same kind of reviews. It seems the key differences are that the JVC has the big hard drive as well as an SD slot, and the Canon runs only with SDHC but has a higher resolution CCD. Anyone have a suggestion?
