What are really good camcorders?

What are good 1080/60p camcorders in my budget?

  • I may seem picky, but here are the things I see in a good camcorder: 1. Shoots in the AVCHD format 2. 1080p resolution 3. Shoots at 60 frames per second in 1080p 4. Good Aperture (better than other camcorders) 5. Does GOOD in low light 6. Built-In Memory 7. A Good Sensor (better than other camcorders) 8. A nice mich in the right place that picks up the right amount of sound 9. A good design It doesn't have to meet ALL the qualities, but, once again, that's what I see in a good camcorder. I won't go over the high 300's, because I'm not willing to cough up too much for a camcorder. I'm upgrading from a Sony Bloggie Touch. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I bought DXG USA DXG-5B1V HD DXG Sportster 1080p HD Underwater Camcorder as a gift for my wife in hopes that it was a great little camcorder for the price. It's supposed to be full 1080P camcorder with underwater capabilities. My wife opened up the camcorder and we instantly charged the battery to see how well it works. After the battery was charged I put it in the camera and wanted to see what we got for the price.

Getting a HD camcorder is taking a step backward in Video Quality. HD camcorders Interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly, the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. MiniDV tape camcorders give every frame of every shot and usually cost less. http://simplevideoediting.com/learn/part1_camcorder_choices.htm http://simplevideoediting.com/learn/part2_connect_camcorder.htm Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 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) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video. MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/zr960
