Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition.
Canon makes many MiniDV tape camcorders, look into the Canon line.

which camcorder shall i get?(description is important).?

I'm looking for a camcorder but don't know what I really need to be asking for when I go to get one. Does anyone have any recommendations? This is roughly what I am looking for but I don't know if it's unrealistic or if there are other important features I need to be looking out for....?
In theory ....
- I want it to be HD, decent sound and picture quality.
- I don't want a shoulder mounted thing, but it can be bigger than a credit card!
- I would like it to film well in poorly lit/ darker places as well as bright, sunny places.
- Is it important to have a flash on a camcorder!? I don't want it for stills.
- I would also, if possible, like it to be waterproof.
- I would like reasonable image stabilisation as I wouldn't be using a tripod or anything like that and a zoom that doesn't go really grainy.
- I'd like to be able to add extra memory as well.
- I don't want to re-mortgage to get it either!!!
Any recommendations regarding a specific camcorder would be greatly appreciated, or any help with what I need to be looking/ asking for?
Answer
These are the brands I would trust and recommend: Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo and Sony. There are many low end junky cameras on the market. If the specs look too good to be true, there's probably something wrong. For example, there is no such thing as an HD camcorder for less than $200 worth buying. In fact, even under $250 is going to be marginal at best.
The accessories you buy are just as important. Tripod, lighting, microphone, etc are something you don't want to overlook. You will be hard pressed to find a camcorder for less than $500 with the ability to take an external microphone. At some point, even if you are only a little serious, you will regret not having a microphone jack. Take this advice, I have a nice Samsung HMX-H200 camcorder that is now discontinued. I paid $250 for it. A month ago It was down to $220. When it first came to market in 2010, it was around $300. What you look at today will be cheaper tomorrow. In a short period, it will be replaced. The replacement will cost more. It may or may not do more or do it better.
By the way, I REALLY regret not having an external microphone for this camera, other than that, I'm OK with it.
Whatever brand/model you are interested in, chances are good somebody on YouTube has uploaded sample, review or test video from it.
