Dear AVFORUMS
I found this website in the search for a decent Camcorder review / suggestion website, i'm hoping you can help me.
I'm currently about to start off a youtube channel detailing in hardware reviews given to me by sponsorship from companies such as Corsair, Coolermaster etc.
But before I can do any of this, I need to have a very good camera & man to operate said camera. Personally, I have no idea about cameras, I could go for one of them 5 grand video recorders like they use on TV and still have no idea what it does, I literally need something which I can either hold, or get somebody to hold, with anti-shake recording, which can zoom in with ultra clear quality.
My budget is below £200 and preferrably under £150. I am not afraid of ebay and ill be using that for the item in hand if it is generally cheaper.
I hope somebody has a suggestion or a guide to follow when it comes to camcorders / video recorders.
Main points;
Must have internal memory with expandability.
Must be USB / FW / External Storage Connection
Must have a detailed zoom of up to 10M+ (Larger would be cool, I could use this at gigs & events.)
Must be highly recommended
Must be popular or parts easily found, such as, batteries, chargers, etc.
Has to be a reputable brand in this market.
Preferably; TV-OUT, Ability to take HD pictures in addition to recording feature, Medium sized preview screen.
I was looking at the handycams from sony, but they are quite old, and still quite expensive, I am hoping for an upgraded version of one of them, they look awesome, but they are clearly outdated compared to some of the newer cameras out here. My friend just used a Kodak playsport camcorder while at an event last night, he said it sounded better after extracting to the PC than it did when we were actually there. So, i've not listened to it but his rating was "OMG AWESOME".
I sincerely hope that somebody on these amazing forums can give me some insight, i'm based in the UK and will give credit to yourself on the website & youtube channel once everything is setup. (Credit for guidance).
Regards,
Chris
