I'm looking to buy a professional movie making camcorder. I have looked around I have been on Google and I have entered top 10 best movie making camcorders. They don't really lower my searches down. I'm looking for something that has good sound quality. Something that takes good videos inside and outside. Something that i can use to enter film festivals with and stuff like that. I was also wondering if anybody knew any good movie making software. Thanks to all that can help me.

Camcorders which use Mini Digital Video tapes (popularly called mini DV) are the best. Such camcorder records digital video on tape. A Mini DV camcorder captures video in what is known as Real Time format and thereby stores more detail than camcorders which uses DVD, flash memory and hard disc.
Videos shot from cameras other than that which uses tape/Mini DV, are not meant for editing. As such they don't help in making videos worth keeping for future.
All Hollywood videos are shot with cameras which uses tape like Mini DV.
Besides, getting familiar with tapes also helps in going professional as all professional cameras use tapes, not DVD or hard disc or flash memory.
Personally, I'm using a Sony HDR HC9E for making semi-professional videos.
Sony HDR HC9E which is HD is a simi professional camera and it is moderately priced.
You may view the rusult of this cam at my youtube page:

My other camera is Sony DCR HC27. Its really a cheap one which shoots great video.
You can go for the latest Sony camcorders which has the series "DCR HC__".
The DCR HC__ series are real cheap yet captures great Video that even TV stations accepts footages taken by this mini DV cam.

Budget professional camcorders?

I'm looking for a good camcorder priced between £200-500 (secondhand is OK) for high quality filming. It must have the following: wide angle lense with 20X optical zoom (or interchangeable lenses), external microphone port, and SD card compatibility. I like the Canon Legria HF 25, and the older Canon DM-XM 2, but was wondering if there were any other decent camcorders with a slightly lower price range?
Answer
Define "professional camcorder".
My definition of a "professional camcorder" is one with a large lens diameter (67mm or larger), large imaging chip system (1/3" or larger - or APS-C imager) in a 3CCD or 3CMOS configuration and XLR audio inputs.
The Canon Legria HF G25 is a prosumer grade camcorder. It does not have an interchangeable lens system. You can add screw-mount lenses to the 58mm lens thread mount - or you can add a DoF adapter to allow an interchangeable lens system.
Even used, if the equipment needs to be working, there is no "professional camcorder" in your price range. Unless you have a different definition of "professional camcorder" than I do - if s, please let us know what that it. From what I've seen, the Sony NEX-EA50UH is the "entry level"...
