Camcorders?

baronmech@

I want to buy the wife a camcorder for the holidays to capture all those precious moments. Looking for a range of $100-$500 and want something small, portable, and good quality. I've been looking around, but every review site I've been to has average rakings for everything. Any recomentations for camaras or good FREE review sites. Ultimatly I might go w/ an auction site to perchase simply because of cash.

Also is there a benifit to a DVD recorder over a 8mm Tape Recorder?

Answer
I have a Canon DC100 DVD I like it

I am planning to start a videography business in the future. What characteristics should I look for in camcorders that are worth investing in? Keep in mind that they will have to have capabilities of taping at night and transporting the footage to a computer. Thanks!

Answer
Most of it depends upon your budget apetite. There are decent camcorders which don't cost much and although they may not have the capability to directly transfer footage into a computer, you can always do it using a $50 device called Dazzle (can be found at DELL site) which will enable you to do it.
Some of the latest camcorders let you record directly on to DVD (not full size) and some do it on Hi-8mm or mini dv tapes. The recording medium is important if you want the quality to last for long time.
Sony has come out with a HiDef camera which does a decent job at night shots (they invented it!), but I have heard feedback that it doesn't do as well on stabilization. This means that you will have to stick it up on a tripod, which most professionals do.
For more details on the models, I recommend to visit cnet. The link is below
