Question

Looking to buy budget HD Cam, which of these stand out?

Oct 23, 2011 5:08PM PDT

I will be using this cam to make a documentary about the current economic and employment crisis, along with personal videos and extreme close-ups of products. I need the very best of 1080 at 60fps and 30fps, and extremely good still pics. Good audio would be nice.These are all between 240-450, if you have any experience with, or any knowledge of any of these, good or bad, please tell. Just looking to weed out the bad and find a winner. Thanks.
