A colleague wants to spend $400 for a consumer camcorder. Any recommendations on good values in that price range?
Thank you.

It lools impressive for the money. Hugh DiMauro June 20th, 2006, 08:13 AM Robert, don't go by lools. Heh heh heh. Lools can be deceiving. (I'm sorry, I just had to. It's the asshole in me!) :-) Laurence Kingston June 23rd, 2006, 08:39 AM Robert, don't go by lools. Heh heh heh. Lools can be deceiving. Yeah, my ex-wife taught me that! K.

The tape is a little more robust than MiniDV I think. Glenn Chan June 23rd, 2006, 12:39 PM Digital8 will be a PITA when the camera eventually breaks and you can't play your tapes back. 2- It seems that Sony really watered down their newer digital8 models that they aren't that great. Older models can be better. Hugh DiMauro June 30th, 2006, 09:26 AM Glenn: HOLY SMOKES! I thought I was the only one who invented PITA! That was my kid sister's nickname in the 1970s! HAHAHAHAH! Well, I guess there is such a thing as a collective consciousness after all! Glenn, I've always said you were a genius. You've answered many of my computer editing-related posted questions. |
