Reviews for Digital Camcorders?

Posted by Cliff on from the can-a-ccd-steal-your-soul dept.

bluprint asks: "I've been looking for information regarding digital camcorders. Googling for 'digital camcorder reviews' (and other variations) of course brings up tons of results, but I thought I would get input from the slashdot crowd. Does Slashdot have any suggestions on these camcorders considering price, features and quality? I plan to use it for my summer vacation, but also intend to keep it for many years (possibly even after I have kids, in a couple years), so I'm willing to spend a little more for something high quality, which uses media that will be around for a while. I'm not interested in fancy/artistic things like video editing on my computer, I just want high quality video, preferably keeping it under $1000. Are there suggestions on where to read some thorough, quality reviews of different products, and maybe even educate myself about what to look for in a digital camcorder?"

  2. Capture analog, convert to digital? by girgit · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    A followup question: Does it make sense to capture analog (Hi8) and then convert to digital? Is that better value for money? Some digital midrange camera I saw (can recall the brandname) was rather slow at auto-focus etc.

    Forget the tired Wayne's World joke about finding Bugs Bunny hot when he was dressed as a woman. That's too common.
    I used to masturbate when seeing Bugs all dolled up. And I'd shoot my load into a tea cup. Ah, good times.

    Ask the people who record all the movies and upload them on BitTorrent.

    Wow, kids and technology these days. Cub scouts? The poster must be, what, between 7-10? Not only can he work a DV camera and edit home movies, but he has such nice grammar!
