Title: reccomendations for basic HD camcorder anyone?
Post by: rginns on January 11, 2009, 12:32:15 am

Basically in the severe lack of funds, I'm looking for reccomendations for the best cheap HD cam that will do until I can afford something decent... not bothered about make or spec really as long as the image quality is good (1080?). I'm not particularly techy so could do with pointing in the right direction.

Cheers!

There's been threads on here before, have a search.

Personally, I'd save up and get something decent.  A good HD camcorder will be 5-600 notes, a basic one 300 ish.  So I can't see the point in spending the extra 300 for a basic model which you'll lose money on later.

But that's just me.  :shrug:
