Best HD video camera for home movies?

  • What's the best video camera you've owned to film your family on? Looking for something HD, that I can use on an everyday basis, take out with me etc. Quality definitely matters as well as easiest/fastest to catch the kids on. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    As you give no budget its not easy to suggest a make or model, I would look at a flash drive camera, Hard drive cameras can take longer to start up, flash drive cameras are generally smaller, the quality is basically the amount you spend on it. avoid flip type cameras like the plague, dont worry to much about the advertising features, people always want high zoom cameras, you probably will want zoom so look for the optical zoom not the digital zoom. Ignore anything to do wil mega pixles, as this is only a measurement for still pictures not video, go to a few stores/shops, and have a good look, have a budget in mind and try to keep to it, RR Good luck

You would need in excess of $3500 in order to buy a HD camcorder that can get better video Quality than a $300 MiniDV tape camcorder has. Any consumer level HD camcorder makes terrible videos if there is any movement in front of the camcorder while shooting a flick. Sports videos are a disaster. You can, for about $300, get a Canon ZR 960. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder with a mic jack.

hands down, kodak play sport. this camera records with 1080p full hd video also adjustable to 720p/60fps which for fast moving shots would be recommended. to enhance your play sport i greatly prefer you purchase a magnetic fish eye lens for even better home movie quality.
