Could anyone tell me what they think the best pocket camcorder for around £150 is. I quite like the idea of a pistol grip one. At the minute I am thinking of a sanyo xacti cg10. Any recommendations. Thanks.


Answer
i can tell you exactly what NOT to get, avoid any chinese brand ones, they make massive amounts of cheap tiny pocket video cameras that run on AA battery (which they suck dry in minutes).
definatly get a brand one like sony, panasonic, jvc, hitachi, etc...

What are some pocket camcorders worth checking out up to £200?

I'm interested in getting a pocket camcorder for up to about £200 for doing guitar covers on Youtube. The Zoom Q3HD seems like a good choice for its awesome built in microphones, but I've heard it is rather cheap-feeling and doesn't record video as well as it should (though it seems to do it fairly well). So, is there anything at a similar price that records high quality sound, but with better video and build?


Answer
Although pocket camcorders are not the best quality I would say that if you are just staring off making videos for youtube they will fit the bill. For the price you can get started making some videos and see what tweaks you need to make. Once you become more familiar with making videos you can decide on whether a minDV or HD camcorder is right for you. Unfortunately many of the manufacturers are moving to tape less recording (if they haven't already) and most digital devices have quality that is just as good as tape. As far as a good pocket camcorder you want to look at the choices on this website. They are some of the best and most reliable devices on the market. You can get them at a really low price as well. If you decide to go with a full consumer or por camcorder in the future these models can be used for back up devices to capture extra angles.
