The best HD camera I know is the PackshotCreator. Not only, one can create HD product photos, but 360 degree animations and interactive 3D flash animations can be created within a few minutes.

I do NOT want any links to any websites. Just simply leave the names of the top 5-10 HD Cameras(NOT CAMCORDERS) in your opinion.

Answer
The two "best" dSLR's with Full HD video are the Nikon D3100 ($700) and the Canon 550D/T2i ($900).

As you can see, your budget is a little low.

I think you know that the number of pixels on the sensor will have NO effect when it comes to HD or Full HD video performance. HD is 1280 x 720p or 1 mp and Full HD is 1920 x 1080p or 2 mp

I will give you one link because it is obvious that you think that it is necessary to have a certain pixel count on a camera.

Panasonic 3 CCD camcorder?

top 10 camcorders under 500 image

Dj Lab Rat

I'm lookin to buy a panasonic 3 ccd camcorder. can anyone recommend a good model. Preferably not priced very high. Also how would you rate the GS 500 vs. GS 400. And how would you rate the GS 180

Answer
I would recommend buying the PV-GS500, or PV-GS400, depending on what you plan to use it for.

Ratings-

PV-GS500: 7.5/10

PV-GS400: 8/10


I rated the 400 higher because it has more manual controls, and for me, that is really important. But if you don't plan on using manual controls as much, than the 500 would be better for you.

PV-GS400:

Pros: Excellent manual control for a consumer camcorder, 3CCD, great video, wireless remote, wired remote (with zoom button, mic, and record), Optical Image Stabilizer, pop up flash, 3'' LCD screen, Manual Focus/Zoom ring, top loading tape.

Cons- Low light filming, portability



PV-GS500:

Pros- Manual Zoom ring, flash, 3CCD, excellent video, true widescreen, Optical Image Stabilizer, top loading tape, wireless remote.

Cons: Small LCD screen for shooting 4:3, Low light filming, portability.



So here is where you make the decision. I would recommend the PV-GS400 if you what to have superior manual control and great video. But, i would recommend the PV-GS500 if you would rather have slightly better video quality. Also, the 400 is hard to find these days. You can get a 500 for as cheap as $449 online. The PV-GS400, however, is hard to find under $900. Either way, these camcorders are both fantastic and you would be happy with either of them.

P.S.

I would rate the PV-GS180: 6/10

Its video isn't as sharp as the previously discussed camcorders. It has no focus or zoom ring. However, it is a very good cam for its price.
