I have found three pretty amazing portable camcorders for around 0.
1. The Flip UltraHD
2. kodak Zi8
3. Samsung U10
You opinion would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I was looking on Bestbuy and Amazon and I found some good camcorders around 0. I am looking for a Sony Camcorder that is HD and has great video quality for uploading things to youtube and other filming things. I was looking to spend around 0 or less.

I have down a ton of research on all three of the cameras, but I just can’t pick the best of these three. The three camcorders that I would like an opinion on are the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10, Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2, and the kodak Zi8. My budget is 0 and all of these fit into it. I’m looking for the best video, image still, and audio. I don’t care about the looks I just want the technical stuff of which is better. Thanks for the help.

I was looking particularly at the creative Vado HD, the kodak zi8, and the flip ultraHD. Which one would you recommend?
Whichever one I buy, I would use it mostly, although not exclusively, indoors. Also the sound quality is pretty important to me, and that was one of the main reasons I am leaning towards the zi8, because from what I’ve seen I’ve like the sound quality on the zi8 the best.

Also are their any other pocket camcorders besides these 3 that you would recommend?

I want a video camera for school video projects, as well as random video making with my friends. Which one would accomplish this better? My camera needs three things:

1) Good video quality
2) Excellent audio quality (I can’t stand listening to lots of white noise, this is probably the most important feature since both of these cameras seem to have comparable video quality)
3) Easy upload to Youtube, or computers in general.

They seem to be in the same price range, however, if there were a camcorder that would work way better for more money, please tell me. My budget is 0, but I don’t seem to see any camcorders in the 0-0 range that haven’t gotten awful reviews. So tell me, Zi8, Flip, or another?

Thank you for your help! :D

I’m going to get one of these camcorders so I can upload reviews of toys to YouTube and I was gonna ask which is better and why?

Thanks.
which has the best picture quality up really close

Also, there are no FULL HD (1080p, not interlaced) camcorders for home video, right?

ok ..
1. i know that major film industries use 35mm film cameras but is minidv just as good,because i know when i watch movies and home videos theres a quality dif
2. also ive heard that hdd camcorders suck compared to minidv, is this true?
3.can regular minidv tapes capture high definition recording on an hd camcorder or do you need special hd minidv tapes?
4.whats the difference b/w hdv and avchd?
5.do you need a capture card to transfer the files from minidv to computer or do most come with a usb/firewire cable to transport them?
6. whats a good video editing program thats user friendly to those with limited/no experience?
7. If I want to record in hd 1080p burn an hddvd, and then downgrade the quality to dvd 640x whatever.. will i be able to? and how?
8. any recommendations? any input is appreciated. im on a 2000.00 or lower budget for the camera.

if you also know a few good sites or any bands that would allow me to use copyright free music for my film please let me know

With all the craze of the latest 120Hz LCD TVs, it seems only natural if there were camcorders out there that sport 120 FRAMES PER SECOND RECORDING. However, it seems this logic is rather illogical when it comes to trying to find one of these things.

In my searches, I’ve only found that if a camera is 120Hz or above, they are only used in the bio mechanical field for slow motion shots. I would like to capture 120 fps progressive scan 1080p video for display on these new 120Hz TVs. Is there a product on the market for me?
"Steve H" below said that the eye cannot see beyond 30fps. This is variably incorrect, and in fact, the average human eye can see refresh rates nearer to 80fps. Anything above that becomes more and more unnoticeable. Certain people’s eyes vary GREATLY in motion perception. I have met people who can only notice 30fps, others that can see 60fps, all the way up to pilot friends of mine that can see higher than 80fps. It’s all dependent upon your genes, training, vision quality and perception.

How can you see what a camera’s quality is?
i mean like digital cameras will say like 10 megapixel or 7 megapixel

but camera just say like 45X zoom!

or 1080p but those are expensive
