I need a good cheap camcorder for Youtube?

I need a good camcorder for filming Youtube makeup tutorials?

• I'm going to be making videos for my beauty youtube channel. Right now I'm using my webcam which is HORRIBLE!!! I would like to spend under $100. It doesn't have to be a super nice camcorder, just one that would be good for makeup tutorials ect. I don't mind if it's not HD, but I would like it to have zoom and under $100. Thanks guys!

• Answer:

  If I was a wanting to do what you want to do, I would use a Canon ZR960 MiniDV tape camcorder, turn off the easy function and use the manual mode, focus the camcorder, so no matter if I am 3 inches from the lens showing only my eyes or standing back doing a full body shot, it will always be in focus and the camcorder will never be doing time consuming auto focusing maneuvers. To be exact, I use something very similar now to shoot my Vlogg, mind you My vlogg has nothing to do with makeup, in any way. You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/zr960
