Q. Panasonic releases a lot of their 2011 line of camcorders in March, will this make the price of their existing models go down? Is there any way to tell when existing Camcorder prices will go down (for any models).
Answer
right. top of line cameras always sell at a premium price. once a better model is available, that premium drops to a more commonplace price. however retailers do not drop prices until they have the new wonder model in stock, to do otherwise would reduce sales volume. some announced products never make it to the store (vaporware) or produced in such small quantity as to not change retail pricing structure. not all retailers drop prices, they may have a distribution deal with the manufacture to return older models from inventory. so bargain models are never on the shelf for you to buy. they become "factory refurbished" items for eventual sale as obsolete models.

I am a certifed A/V tech and videographer. A used Canon GL2 goes for about $1,800-2,000 and a new one about $2,500. You can find them on eBay all the time and they are great little camcorders for the price. But since video is only half the movie you should use the rest of your budget to get some decent audio equipment. And since the video will look unappealing with improper lighting, don't neglect to invest in some decent lighting equipment as well!
A GL2 that will sell pretty cheap is at the link below.
