is it possible to get a HD 1080p camcorder for under £200?
Answer
Samsung, Sony and Kodak all make personal video camcorders that record in 1080p for less than $200.

What is a good $100 1080p HD Camcorder?
Chris
If there is such a thing? The highest price I will go is $150
Answer
Hi Chris:
The short answer is "no", there isn't such a thing at that price. And 1080p (Progressive Scan) requires much higher-end components & storage than 1080i (Interlaced Scan, which is the consumer TV broadcast standard for most networks).
Your best bet would be to find a new or used Kodak PlaySport or PlayTouch pocket camcorder (which were originally in the $179-$279 price range) that can be found online or at close-out stores (like BigLots) from time to time, between $79-$150. Kodak is going out of the camera business, but made decent pocket camcorders in recent years.
Older GoPro Hero models (which were $299-$399) can be found in your price range, on the used or "new in box" closeout market. But these are special-purpose wide-angle POV action cameras, with no zoom and no real viewfinder.
But generally, just "wishing" for something good for a way-too-cheap price doesn't happen in real life. You can't force your cheap budget into buying good quality photographic/video gear, just because you don't want to spend more.
hope this helps,
