The Blair Witch Project was shot on what? It was just a camcorder from a walmort/bestbay outlet.
I'm sure if the makers thought there was a market for such a camcorder it would have stickers on the box claiming "made for the indie film maker!"
Sorry but you have choices of many thousand models today. Most of the time it's not the camera that makes the best shot.

Where are the reviews for HD camcorders that meet the requirements for an independent film maker? I have the specs that CNET told me to look for, but no HD camcorder reviews.
