Each has their own pros and cons. Portability, image clarity, zoom capability, etc. Do you have a preference and, if so, why?


Answer
You can consider Canon VIXIA HF R10 Full HD Camcorder w/8GB Flash Memory (Black)

Records up to 3 hours of crisp high definition video to an 8GB internal flash drive or directly to removable SD memory cards

Canon 2.39-Megapixel HD CMOS Image Sensor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution

What is the most cost effective camcorder out there?

I am looking for a camcorder that shoots in HD, has a Manual Focus, White Balance, all that jazz. Does anyone know which camera is the best bang for your buck? I have been looking at the different Canon Vixias, but I would another persons opinion on this one.


Answer
The Canon Vixia, Sony Handycam, Panasonic (they don't have a brandname) and other consumer camcorders bury manual controls in a menu. While the Vixias and Handycams at the higher end (in the $800+ range) have a thumbwheel that can be assigned manual focus capability, none in this class have a focus ring. The least expensive camcorder that captures high definition video and has a real focus ring is the Sony HVR-HD1000 shoulder mount - or the Sony prosumer HDR-FX7 for a smaller footprint. If size is an issue, the Sony HVR-A1 (with the XLR adater removed) has a lens-barrel ring that can be either manual focus or manual zoom but it is pretty pricy.

ALL camcorders have a white balance control in their menu system.
