Idk much about this type of stuff, but i'm looking for a decent camcorder, recreational use. Nothing too fancy, I'm just wondering if this camcorder is good? I mean the price is what I like because I'm not looking to spend $300 on a camcorder lol. And I know you get what you pay for.

Hi jljreo,
I'm a camera salesman and my experiences with this
sort of Chinese cheap "camera's" is awful, to say the
least.
The lens, in most cases, is made of plastic and so is
the rest of the cam. It surprises me again and again
how they manage to get such a crappy quality with
the specified resolutions.
Most of the times this type of cams don't even have
an usb connection.
You don't have to spend $300 to buy a decent product.

Sony HDR S11 vs Pentax X5 for Video?
pinchi
Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a camera primarily for video making. I can buy either a Sony HDR S11 ($100) or a Pentax X5 ($85). The Sony is older (2008) but is more video focused and has a much higher retail price ($1,100) while the Pentax is newer (2012?) but has a much lower retail price ($200). Which would be a better buy? I'll provide more reading material on both.

Thanks!

if you can get the Sony for that price, it is a real steal. check to make sure the camera is not damaged and is complete. i use a JVC HDD of about the same vintage and find it quite satisfactory.
stay clear of the Pentax, it records movies in the Motion-JPEG format, a really poor codec. Having used Ricoh SLR, i know their products are well designed for photography. But the company has no experience in video and is way out of their league.
