good but relatively cheap brands of camcorders?

Emma K

i'm looking for a nice camcorder that's under or around $150 but will last a long time. and also i would prefer it to be something on the smaller side so that i can carry around with me everywhere.
thanks! :)

Answer
Hey Emma,

A pocket camcorder will work for you. If you can add a little more to your budget, check out the Kodak Zi8 and the Vado HD which are at the top of many reviews. There are also the Sony Bloggie and Sony Webbbie, as well as the Flips by Pure Digital.

Does The Vivitar 805HD video camcorder have changeable AV settings?

Samantha

hey girls and dudes, I was wondering if anyone knew if the Vivitar 805HD video camcorder have AV settings that can be changed? like instead of TV Out it can be changed to TV in? where it might possibly record off the TV. thanks for your time and help peoples!! no rude answers please!

Answer
Hi Samantha, and welcome to Y!A Camcorders:

The short answer is "no". Even though Vivitar gave their pocket camcorder the oddly-misleading name of "Digital Video Recorder" (which is what set-top video recorders are also called) instead of "camcorder", it does not have any video-in or AV-in features.

Here's the full manual, with all the Video Capture-related menus on page 13: http://www.vivitar.com/files_products/625/DVR_805HD_Camera_Manual.pdf

Very few digital camcorders will work as "analog input VCRs", so don't feel too left-out.

hope this helps,
