best camcorder brand 2012 image

UW

One that takes pretty good possibly hd video. One that's possibly under 80 dollars or a little more than 80

Answer
Sony HDR-CX190 High Definition Handycam 5.3 MP Camcorder(2012 Model)

If you are looking for a small , but excellent Video Camera for the family videos with no Hassles, look no further.
This is the one. Below are some of the features , that I like personally

1) Small to fit into your pocket

2) Excellent Optical Zoom of 25X with Image stabilization (if you want to zoom in on the action at Kids events, this is the one)

3) Supports SDHC & SDXC , can go upto 64GB cards ( I have had only 32Gb Class 10 cards for excellent performance)

4) Comparable pricing at Amazon , No Tax, Free Shipping (Not gonna give my hard earned already taxed money to Uncle Sam on
products that I buy)

5) Excellent Video quality at 1080P ( I am more interested in Video rather than Still Photos on this Handycam)

6) Sony reliability and Perfection on Handycams ( Would not trust other brands, had Sony handycams for the last 15 yrs , never had a problem, all antiques now)

My review of the product is unbiased , I did this , because I had Sony handycams for a long time and wanted to acknowledge the reliability, value and excellence of the product, with Value for your money.

I am confused between Fujifilm S2980 and Samsung WB100?

eman

i really cant choose between both, and i can't find helping reviews over the internet, most reviews i found where about ppl who had just bought or received one of the cameras as a gift and were much excited about it!
i want to know if the review of ppl who used it for at least few months, the cons and pros
i know that Samsung has better zoom, and Fujifilm has a view finder but its not that important for me , iam more concerned with good quality that would last for a good period of time , idont wanna buy a camera that breaks down after few months

Answer
Hi "eman" and welcome to Y!A Camcorders:

You appear to be in Egypt, so I don't know what search engine results you've been getting, but there are some professional reviews on CNet and Engadget, and elsewhere, that you'd find helpful. DP Review (http://dpreview.com) is another good site for digital camera reviews.

One tip: you are asking about two still-cameras (photos not videos) in the Camcorders section. The Y!A Cameras section is where most of the photo camera users hang out. If you're mainly wanting to shoot video, neither is really the best choice for you.

I know a lot of everyday camera users now want just one "gadget" for shooting both photos and videos, but "point & shoot" cameras (or even "bridge cameras" like these two models you are asking about) are a compromise when it comes to video.

My personal opinion, brand-wise, is that Fujifilm (the "Japanese Kodak") has been making cameras a lot longer than Samsung, and Fuji is generally a better choice. Samsung entered the camera market in 1995 when they bought German camera company Rollei, but isn't as well-known for quality lenses like Fuji is. I do not like the Samsung quality in their cellphone construction (owned several).

Here are some reviews, so you can make your own decision:
Fuji S2980 "Ephotozine review" (UK): http://www.ephotozine.com/article/fujifilm-finepix-s2980-digital-camera-review-20407
Samsung WB100 "Engadget review" with many user comments (US): http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/29/samsung-brings-out-wb100-camera-with-26x-lens/
Samsung WB150F "Ephotozine review" (only similar model they reviewed - UK): http://www.ephotozine.com/article/samsung-wb150f-ultra-zoom-review-18632
Samsung & Fuji "CNet side-by-side comparison" WB100 & two S4000-series & a Nikon Coolpix (similar prices): http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/samsung-wb100-red/4540-6501_7-35430119-4.html

hope this helps,
