Looking for a new Camcorder

[Kornman00]

As the title says, I'm looking for a new Camcorder (digital)

The one I have right now is great in all areas except zoom (4x digital ftl) and sound. The quality isn't great either, but it could be worse (it only uses SD cards).

I want to have a suppa duppa camcorder for when I take my tour of Bungie. I'm budgeting about 300 to 400 for it, and it needs to have :awesome: film quality when not zoomed, and :awesome: zoom is a plus, but not needed. Also, the mic needs to not be ultra gay sensitive please.

Anyone have any experienced suggestions?

Well the Sony CyberShot Series is quite good (i think the series includes camcorders)

300,400 $$$ or Euros? :p

[Kornman00]

Dollars. Fuck the Euro. Fuck it right in the ear!

[Patrickssj6]

1.3$ = 1Euro

That's suppose to be good...but for the consumer it's really bad...if the IKEA furniture costs the same in Euros and Dollars for instance...:)

:lol:

1$ gets me like .73 Euros. Fuck. that. :eyesroll:

Also,

I remember seeing this on G4tv.

A HD camcorder for $300. You do need a sd card. So that will put you back to about $400 for a good sized 8gb(4 hours of video).

I have a 2gb SD card already, but thanks, I'll look into it

EDIT: After looking at a few places (especially this (http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/29/aiptek-intros-sub-300-go-hd-camcorder/)) I'm going to have to shut down that suggestion. Thanks anyway

Get one of those fancy HD hard drive camcorders... you even get 5.1 surround sound!

This one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830114007) looks ok, although you'll have to find it from somewhere other then newegg. The main advantage to that one is that you can just throw a new DVD in there instead of having to transfer your footage off. So you could just bring like a 10 or 20 pack of DVD's with you and just use em up. It also has an SD card slot but I think that they only use those for pictures and don't let you record video to it, at least thats my experience =/.
