Any suggested brands for a Digital Camcorder under $500
I am looking for an inexpensive Digital Camcorder to tape my sons birth next week. I don't have a lot of money, and I would like to be able to transfer the video to my computer to burn a DVD. Any suggested brands under $500?
There are many good camcorders under $500 from all the major manufactures that will take care of recording this happy occasion. If you want to Edit the footage on a computer it will be easier to work with miniDV, other formats may need conversion. You can get a DV bridge such as the Dazzle from Pinnicle that will capture your footage through the USB port, regardless of what format it was recorded on, and then you can edit and burn a DvD. If editing is not a concern you could either get a camcorder that is DvD based or get, if you don't already have, a stand alone DvD recorder that you can just connect the camcorder directly to and record a DvD.
