Good HD video cameras?




bdiabdo


I'm looking for a video camera mainly for indoor use but it will be used outdoors a bit too. It has to be around $170-$330. Also it has to have good reviews and not to complicated to use. And it has to shoot in HD.
Thanks So Much.

With the Camileo H30 you can enjoy state-of-the-art technology with 1080p Full High Definition Video and take sharp 10MP photos. Experience high definition up close. Take pleasure with your 5x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom and video stabilization. Control recordings on the large 3-inch touch-screen LCD monitor. Master great videos with 4 different recording modes: Macro mode for close up shots, motion detection mode for surveillance, slow motion for sports, and time elapse mode. Never miss the perfect moment! The H30 takes SD/SDHC memory cards up to 32GB (not included).

Which video camera would you recommend? Sony, Canon, JVC, Panasonic?

I am looking to buy a new video camera that's less than $300. I have read reviews online but am looking for any personal recommendations. Right now I am looking at the Sony Handycam HDRCX190, the Canon Vixia HF R300, the Panasonic HC-V100M, the JVC Everio GZ-E200, and the JVC HM440. If anybody has any experience with any of these and could explain which is best that would be very helpful. Thanks!

HD camcorders interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video.
