Jun 14, 2006 4:40AM PDT

HI.
I just the forum coz i think its the place where i can start my journey towards camcorders. My question;
Are camcorders enough efficient to produce a quality wise film? Well am not asking to have a Hollywood base type cinematographic picture, but one which can show us clearly what happening without the usual distorted images. Well I want to venture in the filming section but I want some suggestion on what type of camcorder should I buy. I want a professional work but only for usual viewers, like a birthday party or marriage. Any help plz.
