What is a good camcorder?

What camcorder is good for me? PLEASE HELP ME!?

• I've almost seen every camcorder shop from aiptek to canon, i've searched them all, and i don't now which one to buy! i am still young ( 13 ) and i don't get any pocket money, i have to work for it. so i really don't earn money fast, i even have to get money from my bank account, and i don't even have much money on my bank account, only around 300 euros. The camcorder must not be bad at night, not that's super awesome, but just normal. The battery must be at least 2/3 hours recording because i can't afford another battery cause they are freaking expensive. and it must be with memory card. I really love the model and the zoom from the jvc Everio, i really liked the jvc Everio gs ms 120, till i find out that the battery isn't that good only 1 hour, and that it isn't good at night. i really don't now what camcorder i must buy, i know don't have a big budget. i don't live in a rich family and i don't even have a mobile phone, but i would love to film and put some video's on youtube. like when i walk in the forest, or at night over the street, or in the house or just outside. do you guys know any cheap camcorder that my wishes? i don't want a digital camera, because you need to hold it with 2 hands. or must i buy one of those shitty ones that are 40 bucks? please help me do you guys and girls now any good camcorder, and i don't want a flip or a kodak zi8, play sport, i have all ready seen those. Please help me. best wishes and Good luck!

• Answer:

  Want the best video quality going? Get a MiniDV Tape camcorder. That camcorder, when compared to a HD camcorder, the HD folks would need to spend in excess of $3500 USD to get one that has better video quality. Consumer level HD camcorders have 3 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes - all times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event i have aver been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event. With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 second or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes. You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250 USD. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack.
