As the videos from Canon FS200 Camcorder is formated as. mod, which is hard to compatible with popular formats. I would like to suggest you to try a useful and rewarding tool-Mac Mod Converter for it can easily convert the.mod to the iMovie supporting format.

What is best camcorder I can buy for under $2,000?

best camcorder under $2 000 image

Supply Sid

I would prefer not to spend in excess of $2,000. I would like a camera that can shoot in 1080. I'm going on vacation in a month and want to document my trip.

Answer
Not a fan of consumer, so called HD, crapcorders. If you care to look at other questions I explain why.

If this is your well-thought out choice, my advise is to get the cheapest HD camcorder that records at the maximum consumer data rate of about 11 gigs/hour and has the lens and features you like and understand. $400-$500 should do it. They will use the same H.264 compression and image quality as a $2000 camcorder.

This one is as good as any: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hf_r21#Specifications

Your best format for quality image, is the HDV format, which used MiniDv tapes and requires a firewire connection to get it to your computer for editing, these cameras are about $1000.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hv40

And the bargain is the standard def MiniDv cameras. They have a frame size 1/6th the size of HD, but get more data, 13 gigs/hour. In editing, they can be up-converted to HD frame sizes and have better quality than native HD camcorders. This little guy is a very good camera, despite it's price point.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/zr960

Or, up your budget to about $3500. This is the cheapest HD cam I would consider:

Which Semi Pro video camera should I buy?

sprattoo

I am getting lost shopping for video cameras. I need external microphone inputs, would like to be able to use headphones, would like video outputs for Jib use. I would like to be able to film in HD, and I really like the idea of filming to SD cards or HDD instead of using mini DV tapes.
My Budget is something under $2,000.
I will be using the cam for short films, commercials, Live DJ / video presentations.
any suggestions?

Answer
"DJ"=Loud audio=lots of vibration. Hard disk drive (HDD) camcorders should not be on your short list. They can stop recording because the HDD heads are protecting the platters and can stop recording under high vibration levels.

ALL camcorders have AV out connectivity so you can connect to a remote/external monitor for jib/crane use.

A prosumer cam will have a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) audio input AND manual audio control. You can add an XLR adapter for use of XLR mics. BeachTek or juicedLink.

Given the pro-level requirements, you must have low compression video file capture. This means - for high definition - HDV, DVCPRO HD, HDCAM or XDCAM. No AVCHD.

DJ=low light=camcorder needs large lenses and large 3CCD or 3CMOS imaging chip system to capture video under low light conditions.

The only cam that comes close is the Sony HDR-FX7. but it will not meet the low light requirements. The HDR-FX1000 will meet all the technical requirements but is miniDV tape and outside your budget. JVC GY-HM100 is flash memory saves to h.264 MOV files but is outside your budget.

You need to reduce your requirements or increase your budget... Or investigate the lower end of the dSLR (those able to also capture high definition video) area and separate audio capture system.
