Not all camcorders give a live signal when recording, some will give a signal and then blank when the record button is pressed.
The Panasonic HC-V750 will give a live signal when recording. (recently tested this for another poster) You will need a HDMI to mini HDMI lead to connect from the camera to the TV OR connect via Wi-Fi.
My 7 year old likes to do Review Videos of his different collections. he has a flat screen TV that is mounted on the wall and we want to get him a camcorder that will allow him to see himself on the TV while he is Recording his Videos. We don't want to spend a fortune if we don't have to, but we want to get him a decent camera
