Panasonic SDR-S26 Flash Memory Camcorder

$349.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
without time to read directions thoroughly, bought this camcorder because of the 70x zoom to use on animal hapenings.
from www.amazon.com
sure it is a basic camcorder but for the price you get optical image stabilization that really works, 70x optical zoom, pocket size, and youtube upload.
from www.amazon.com
this panasonic sdr-s26 camcorder is by far the best you can buy for the price, and is rated best camcorder of 2009 ces!
from www.amazon.com
it's clear, crisp and really light weight.
from www.amazon.com

Flip Video Flip UltraHD 8GB (120 minutes) (8 GB) High Definition Camcorder

$193.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?convenient, easy to use, uses rechargeable or aa batteries "great to carry in pocket or purse so it is always handy.
from www.amazon.com
zoom- this is one of the bad things about it- they sacrificed optical zoom to make it more compact and less complicated and put on digital; the quality doesn't degrade that badly, but it's noticeable.
from www.amazon.com
the only reason that it can't serve as my primary camcorder is that the zoom is extremely limited as you'll see in the video.
from www.amazon.com
basically it has no zoom but these types of camcorders usually have useless digital zooms, so its no big deal to me.
from www.amazon.com
all in all, a fantastic product and only half the price, with twice the recording capacity (in hd!) of a regular dvc camera.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1 Camcorder

$460.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
+ Solidly constructed camera and my first underwater camcorder, the challenges of all underwater devices is adequately fitting rubber gaskets and seals to metal and this camera did just fine even down to 25 ft when I took out on lazy beach day.
from www.amazon.com
After reading some of the negative reviews I was hesitant to purchase this camera.
from www.amazon.com
This Sanyo camera offers HD video, the ability to take photos and a lightweight camera all-in-one.
from www.amazon.com
At first sight, this little machine looks almost perfect: an up to 10 feet waterproof, compact, dual camera/camcorder.
from www.amazon.com
Bought this for our holiday in USA and Canada - We saw Niagara falls (very wet!), we jet boated (extremely wet!), we jet skiied (and fell in!), we white water rafted (and the force of the wave shut the door of the camera so it turned off!).

Panasonic AG-HMC40 Camcorder

$2,364.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
B) Two choices for sound: Seperate sound (best) or get the panasonic/beachtek adapter for on camera.
from www.amazon.com
In short words: "the new Panasonic AG-HCM40 is not the best camera money can buy but ,to my opinion, it's the best camera money can buy for this price!!
from www.amazon.com
The camera does come however with a 3 year warranty (activated once you register) so Panasonic at least believes its good for 3 years of semi-pro use.
from www.amazon.com
This camera deserves "6 Stars" on image quality.
from www.amazon.com
This camera is truly an amazing piece of equipment.

from www.amazon.com
I bought this camcorder to replace a Sony DSR-PD170.
from www.amazon.com
This particular camera is HD specifically AVCHD and gives me full 1080 X 1920 in the AG mode; this is not the default I had to choose it in the settings; higher the resolution higher the storage on the built in card.
from www.amazon.com
I've had the Panasonic HDC-TM300 for a little over a month now and have had several occasions to test it out in a multitude of situations and exposure levels.
from www.amazon.com
The 3 chip sensor design can be attributed to that.

I'm a camcorder newbie and bought the JVC MS130BU basically on an impulse at Walmart.
from www.amazon.com
I've just begun testing this camcorder, and it seems to work very well.
from gthutch, www.newegg.com
Cons: file format is imcompatible with nearly all generally accepted video format and included JVC software is next to impossible to use.
from Big Rich, www.newegg.com
Other Thoughts: I was shopping for a camcorder and after reading up on all of the current models out that were in my price range I headed out to get my hands on some and do some comparisons myself.

Samsung SC-MX20 Flash Memory Camcorder (Black) SC-MX20 BLK

the included windows software would not install on my windows me machine, so i assume that it is for xp and vista (nothing in the docs about this), as is most windows software today.
from www.amazon.com
there are also options to adjust for backlight, face detection, a number of different scene modes (sports, outdoors, etc.), and interval timer.
from www.amazon.com
also, windows xp can't thumbnail these files like it can .avi files (canon uses), so you can't preview them in explorer or my computer.
from www.amazon.com
this little camera is great for the price.good quality vidio even in lower light .
from www.amazon.com
no, the picture quality is not as good as camcorders many times the price, nor can one expect it to be.
