Best Consumer HD Camcorder?

LiveToRide

I'm looking to upgrade my now broken Casio Exilim EX-FH20 high speed camera which had 20x optical zoom

-Under $1,300 would be great (I don't want a professional camera!)

-It will be used to shoot equestrian sports so it must be good with action

-Video quality and the BEST ZOOM is what's very important to me

Any recommendations? I've been doing some research on multiple cameras by Canon, JVC, and Panasonic...is one brand better (or at least better in some areas)?
Or should I get another Casio EX-FH20?

Answer
Do you want HD camcorder or camera that can take video.If you want HD camcorder I would recommend Canon VIXIA HFS100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder
- Record crisp HD video directly to a removable SDHC memory card
- Genuine Canon 10x HD video lens; SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer.It's the lens you need to record long shots of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes, and everything in-between. And because it comes with four zoom speeds, three pre-set and one variable, you always get smooth, steady, professional-looking zoom shots.
- 1920 x 1080 Full HD recording; 24p Cinema Mode, 30p Progressive Mode
- Built-in 8.0-megapixel digital camera delivers stunning quality photos
- HDMI terminal for easy, one-cable connectivity to your HDTV

I need to make some short films an I need to best of the best camcorder I can get. Does anybody know of some? I don't have a budget for it. Just need it ASAP.

Answer
Red Epic.
Canon EOS Cinema cam.

remember to add a few mics (Sennheiser, Audio Technica), tripod (Manfrotto), lights (lite panels), mic boom, shock mount, cables, camera crane (Kessler), cases, Steadycam vest stabilizer system, power supplies... and be sure whatever computer you plan to edit on can deal with the captured video - same with the editing application you plan to use.

What is the best stabilizer for my 5d mark ii?

Nick

Ive been doing some automotive photography for around 2 years now and ive been wanting to start shooting some video. Im aware i need a good stabilizer to do this, when i go to car meets i always see people with crane jibs, sliders, steadicams and glidecams. Basically what i want to know since i dont have any experince with any of these, which would be the best for everything? I see people carrying around a crane and a slider sometimes, and i dont want two pieces of equipment. I just want one thatll do everything i need. I basically want sometime that i can just whip out and use when im at car events, but also want something that can cleanly tackle an individual shoot as well. I feel like a glide cam or steadicam would be the best but if anyone has any experience with them and think a crane would be better, let me know. Thanks guy!

Answer
There is no single "best" stabilizer. Just like there is no single "best" mic or lights or camera or camcorder or car... The vest systems (SteadyCam, GlideCam, VariZoom, etc.) appear to be the most versatile - though will not get as high as a crane can. Varizoom has an available optional extension arm for low shots, but nothing with height like a crane.

Everyone will have their opinion about which us "best" (usually depends on which they bought).

If you go with a vest system, read/watch/follow the included instructions. And you may need to learn how to walk.
