Best camcorder for under $1000?

What is the best camcorder to buy for ~$700-1000?

  • Answer:

    these days, there is a nice sweet spot in that price range, because it allows you to step up to a minidv video camera with a 3-ccd optical sensor. panasonic was perhaps the first manufacturer to crack the 3-ccd/$1,000 mark nearly two years ago, and they have several models in that price range... check the c-net review link below for an example. there are other manufacturers that also offer 3-ccd chipsets, so do your homework carefully... take a look at www.camcorderinfo.com for some reviews, and be sure to take a look at their forum... you can also search www.dvinfo.net for a more professional point of view. one other desireable feature to look for might be a firewire(1394) port on the camera, if you want to plug it into your computer and capture the footage to your hard drive for editing.
