What kind of camcorder should I buy?

What kind of camcorder should i buy?

  • I want to buy a camcorder for my Mother for Christmas. I've never bought a camcorder before, so i have no idea what to look for. Should it be Mini DV or DVD? Sony or Panasonic? You know, things like that. I am sure that i want something that's under $400 and with good low light performance. (Please be specific about Model name and number) Any ideas and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Please, help! Thanks :)

  • Answer:

    While a mini dv camcorder will be a little cheaper--a dvd camcorder will be more conveinent and last longer. The Dvd she can just put into her Dvd player and go while a Mini dv she would have to hook her camcorder to her tv to watch. And if the Mini Dv ever breaks she would have to buy another Mini Dv to play the tapes in while if a Dvd breaks she can buy anything she wants because she can still put the Dvd in the dvd player. For brands Panasonic will be cheaper but Sony will last longer and have more bells and whistles on it. Not to say Panasonic isn't a good brand because it is but Sony is a little better made. I hope this helps you
