Many brands and types of camcorders on sale, you can check on the website that sells electronic, and you must make sure the service history or can check online store (specially Camcorder)
Hey all,
I have a question and I think there are enough smart people
here that can answer my question. I want to buy a camcorder,
but I do not know which one, I want to film for fun (make short
films and maybe documentaries, nothing too serious).
These
are my requirements:
- Does not have to be a new one, I can find a used one
- HD (full or 1080i/p)
- Possibility to attach a external Mic
- Possibility to focus manually
- Budget: up till 650 dollar/500 euro's
- A trusted brand (not some Chinese unknown brand)
- As much FPS per second (I just love slow-motion)
- Record on a (internal or external) harddrive or flash card (no mini-dv)
Additional requirements (not necessary, but great if it's possible)
- Zoom manually
- A LOT of optical zoom (or changeable lenses?)
- Headphone jack
I hope there excists a camcorder that fits with my requirements
if there does not exists one but you still know a camcorder that would
fit me perfectly, please post it
Thanks in advance! DreamCAM
