What camcorder is the best for a quality picture for youtube?

Hi highly recommend that you look at DSLRs as they give you a very professional look you your video. For your price range, I'd look at the Panasonic Lumix G2, just type it into youtube to see some video footage, and you will be amazed! The great thing about DSLRs is they are very cheap and most give you a TV like image (low DoF, clear HD image etc), however do keep clear of bridging cameras. I suggest as well that you buy off the internet (reputable places like amazon) as the prices will probably be a lot cheaper than in a shop, the only down side being you don't get to try the product out. If you want more info, watch the equipment part (first 10 mins) of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obmq83YTLtw . I talk in detail about what equipment you should get. If you want to learn more about filming as well, please feel free to watch on throughout the video. Hope this helps, Brice [email protected]
