Hello everyone. This site is fantastic and I've learned a ton from surfing around. I'm purchasing my first digital camcorder with the hopes of producing some quality video for under $1000.
Things I'll be doing will be documentary-type films mostly involving running sports, short movies, and playing with video & music. I am looking for the best quality playback, truest colors, and the lot, but, with a sticky catch, under $1000.
Bearing those stipulations in mind, I've narrowed my choices down to the following, mostly due to having 3 CCDs. Which would you choose and why?
1) A GS250
2) A GS120 for only(?) $400
3) A different camera altogether for under $1000 (if so, which one & why?)
4) Ahh...forget it. Save up for another year or two and purchase a real monster.
Thanks in advance for all the help. Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me soon.
