What Camcorder to buy if shooting indoor video

Jun 22, 2009 11:53PM PDT

Need help on buying a small camcorder (something under $350) with an SD card for storage.
Will be shooting inside video with some low light and some outside.
Someone said to get the PanasonicSDR-S26, need more feedback.
Thanks for your help.

not for under $350. $350 isn't even close.

Try indoor lighting.
