best camcorder great audio image

Q. Around 10-12 MP with great Audio options. Anyoneknow of a website where people are cleaning out their stuff and happened to find one or something?

Answer
No such thing as 10-12 megapixels in a camcorder, at any price. Even full high definition is only 2.1MP.

If you need good manual audio control and XLR inputs, try some of the older pro DV camcorders on Ebay, like a Sony PD150 or Panasonic DVX100 or something like that. A lot of good deals on those since everyone is moving up to high def. Still not exactly cheap...

What is a good camcorder to use for recording myself and my friends?

Fritzy

I'm looking for a good, inexpensive camcorder with good audio and video quality to record things my friends and I do (to capture all the once-in-a-lifetime moments). I don't really have a set budget but I'd like to avoid paying over $1000 because that would take a lot of time and money-saving.

Answer
cellphone or dlsr camera! that's great!

What is the best software to edit videos and put on DVD for a camara that creates m2ts files?

I have a Sony Camcorder and right now I am converting the m2ts files that it creates to the supported format for pinnacle studios. The conversion takes a long time so I am looking to skip the conversion step.

Answer
I think your trying to create a "classic" dvd, possibly with menus? The problem is that your m2ts files are probably high definition, and old fashioned DVD is not. Your software has to reduce the resolution of your video to convert to standard DVD "vob" files, which can be a slow process. But you may not necessarily need to reduce the definition of your files to an old outdated format (and why would you want to?)?

Most newer DVD and BluRay players recognize video files with the HD type compression format (AVI files compressed with either h264, xVid, etc...). In other words, if you use a conversion program to instead convert your files to HD avi, they may play directly in your player by just burning them as files onto a DVD disc. A good (and free) program that does this easily is the freeware program Freemake. It will will combine, merge, and save multiple files into a single HD file if desired. Think it will also burn them for you onto a DVD. Check the following two links out, think they'll help:

What are some good camcorders that emulate the look of 35mm film?

What are some great camcorders under $1,000 $5,000 and $10,000
What are the best cameras in each of these price ranges

Answer
Sony HDR-CX190 High Definition Handycam 5.3 MP Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom (2012 Model) has been a great HD camcorder so far. It is very small and lightweight, to say the least. I think the 70 series battery I bought for this unit weighs almost as much as the camera. The controls are good with the little screen joystick and menus. The color is very good on the screen, and the video is sharp. I like the 30x for videoing my stepsons' wrestling matches.
