Good, High Quality Camcorder/Camera?

ANONYMOUS

I am looking to buy a good, high quality camcorder. (I really would prefer a camcorder opposed to a camera, I have a very expensive camera that, unfortunately, doesn't take video.)

I need one the has very nice focus, and would be good to be used for "beauty & fashion" videos.

I don't have a very strict price set, but it should be around $300 - $500, it's OK if its a bit more or less, but I would like one that would be a good fit for me.

Answer
With camcorders, good quality starts at around $1200. High quality reaches 5 digits. For your purpose a Sony Handycam and some good lighting should be enough. With a backstage type dressing mirror (the ones with lots of lights around) which is standard for beauty and fashion preparation, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

best low light camcorder under $2000?

Answer
Sony HDR-XR500 ~ 1000$ or Sony HDR-XR520 ~ 1200$ .. just read the reviews.

The only difference is the 500 has a 120 GB HDD and the 520 has 240 GB HDD
