Low Light Camcorders

Jun 17, 2005 3:44PM PDT

I recently purchased a Sony hc32. I like the quality compare to my old 8mm, but feel like I need to spend a little more money and get something that is better in low light. I have a 6 & 1/2 month old grandson who happens to be the best looking kid on the planet and so I want to get the best videos I can get without spending a fortune. So far the GS 400 seems to have the best reviews and I found a good price on it at D.L. but I read online from several sources that I really didn't want to buy from them and everybody else was a lot higher so I need something that is going to look pretty darn good in low light settings in the 600-900 range.

Read the specs and go for 0 to 1/2 LUX ...

Sony HC90. It is the best one out there for low light.
