Looking into buying a High Definition Camcorder.

by Noniy Mar 8, 2009 12:40PM PDT

Hello, i am currently looking to buy a HD Camcorder which will ve good for both indoors and out. I will be uploading most of what i Record to youtube. So i would like one that would be good quality while recorded, and once uploaded onto youtube.

I Want it to be able to Record to a Hard drive (not to a Tape/Cassette, which can have a purchasable Hard Drive for Replacement.

Also Able to have high quality sound and Video (HD).

And as i said before, i would really like to be good for both indoors and out, and to be good quality while recorded and once uploaded to youtube.

My Budget is approximately $550, but may change in the coming weeks.

I was thinking of getting the "Canon VIXIA HV20 HD Camcorder", but not sure if it was good enough for my standers.

Please do tell me what you think of the "VIXIA HV20", and if you recommend a different one.


I Very much Appreciate your help with finding me a good HD Camcorder i can use.

I appreciate it.
Best Regards,
Noniy

Instead of the HV20, try the HG20. It is about 599 i believe. Has amazing quality, step up form everything in the HV20. Amazing audio, and an even better low light capability. I really want to buy it, i did a lot of research on it. Just youtube, Canon Vixia HG20 and you will be able too see people sounds test, light tests, zoom tests, any tests all in HD... But it is truly the best of what you will be looking for.
