What is the best camcorder for the best price?

What is the best, but also lowest price, professional camcorder?

  • I am a young filmaker, and would like to buy a new camcorder. I have a Sony handycam that is almost broken and quite old. I would like to buy a professional camcorder, and have been looking at Canon, and Sony, but those are well out of my price range... My maximum price would be about $900. :/ Any ideas?! PLEASE HELP!

  • Answer:

    With a maximum price of $900, you have quite a lot of options! The Canon GL2 is great and a personal favorite of mine; it doesn't necessarily have that Panavision film touch to it, but it's probably the most reasonably priced professional camcorder to start making films with (not to mention you can create the feature film look when you edit your footage on a computer). I was looking on Craigslist and I saw some used GL2s for as low as $450, with a case, firewire cable, and other accessories. If you're REALLY lucky, you might even be able to find a used HD professional camcorder for under $1000; just look on eBay and Craigslist, and if you go Craigslist, make sure to test the camcorder thoroughly before you purchase it.

Mine was 79 dollars at Wal-Mart... I don't exactly know what it is called though... But it was the cheapest. :D :)
