Best Camcorders for Wide Angle

i love the wide angle lenses, it is good for both indoor and outdoor.

still, just like the flip, i'm left wondering what is so great about a $200 dedicated video camera that isn't any smaller than my $200 panasonic dmc-fx37k 10mp digital camera with 5x wide angle mega

wide-angle lens - the vado has the widest lens of all the cheap pocket hd cameras, which leaves everything in more or less in focus.

meanwhile, the vado hd's field of view (wide angle lens) reigns supreme and makes its competitors inferior despite their other advantages.

if you are planning to buy this one, i suggest getting an extra battery, the external battery charger, a couple of 32gb cards and the wide angle converter lens.

though for me, coming from a filmmaking background, buying the optional wide angle converter is a must in order to give visual variety and versatility to my shots.

zoom covers super wide angle to semi-zoom (6.4mm to 64mm) before the 1.7x magnification.

- focal length for wide angle shots, is way too close.

the widest angle is relatively narrow, although many other camcorders are similar.

also bought a lens and (i think) its one of the only pro-sumer camcorders that have the thread to actually allow you to just add a wide angle lens or a tele lens, quick.

recording dancing was more problematic since framing with the 16:9 aspect ratio (there is no other option) and non wide angle lens wasn't good.

the lens is relatively wide angle and there is no zoom so its best suited to close subjects.

cons: the lens on the hd is much less wide angle than the original flip video (not sure how it compares to the non-hd mino).

for example, i own a panasonic dmc-fx37k 10mp digital camera with 5x wide angle mega optical image stabilized zoom (black) (currently selling for $250) that offers a vast array of options in
