3800 Digital Camcorder question

[horist]

I'm looking at getting a new camcorder this year... but don't know much about them...

What features should I look for? (I know nothing about digi camcorders... )


Any models that are pretty decent?

I don't need a top of the line one... probably looking to spend no more than 1500... (though if I could get one for under a G that'd rock)


Any suggestions?

I'd like to stay w/canon as I have a canon digi-cam that works awesome ... so if their digi camcorders are as good as their digi-cameras then that's good enough for me....

I like Sony I have a sony digi cam and my sister has a sony digi camcorder which is really good for me cause I have a sony vaio that i can just use there memory sticks in my pc. I think that would be a good camera and plus they give you a usb cable to transfer your pics but not your movies you would have to buy a kit for that, or i think it comes with the camcorder....good luck.

We have a Sony TRV30 that we think is great. We paid around $1700.00 but that was almost 2 years ago. Also you will want to get more/bigger memory sticks and a larger battery. Good deals can be found on those if you shop around.
And it says we can connect it to a vcr and download vcr tapes to our computer, havn't tried that yet.

Damn for that much money why don't you treat your GP to a Hood or something.. :huh:

 

[horist]

lol cause the GP already has a hood that works (plus I got it for less than the 2k price ... and got 0% financing for 24 months heh... gotta have a nice digi camcorder to get some vids at the track )
