I'm looking to buy an new camcorder for under $1000, and I need some help.
I honestly know very little about camcorders, except for what they share in common with digital cameras.
Any recomendations on what I should get? I'm pretty sure that I one that records onto MIni DV. I was looking at this one, but I'm not sure

There's lots of great sites to help this sort of thing if you yahoo or google it.

Canon's cameras are excellent, one standard MiniDV camera is the Canon XL-1 and Canon XL-2. They make a cheeper variety, the GL-2. Still professional quality.
So saying that the Optura Xi would be an excellent pro-sumer camera.

The Panasonic PV-GS250 has 3 CCDs and optical stabilization. It gets highly rated on C-Net (its the highest rated camcorder in the $1000 range, and almost as highly rated as the $3K camcorders).
On the negative side, its low light performance may not be so good. The Panasonic's CCDs are 1/6 inch vs the 1/3.4 inch CCD the Optura Xi has.
For what its worth, the sales guy at Best Buy said that Canon had disapointing video in low-light situations, and that JVC and Sony were best in low light. |
