The OP is budget-limited and videography might not end up being his cup of tea. Ergo I gotta agree with zoobia's approach.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/beginner-filmmaker-first-camcorder-recommendations#post-47209 Tue, 26 May 2009 08:57:25 +0000 EarlC 47209@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Actually, it would be a better deal to go with the HV30, even the HV40, rather than purchase a refurbushed camera that is two generations old. Only, at best, a couple hundred dollars difference for a mega-difference in technological improvements over the HV20. Might even last long enough to outlive availability of MiniDV tape.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/beginner-filmmaker-first-camcorder-recommendations#post-47181 Mon, 25 May 2009 22:51:16 +0000 zoobie 47181@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You'll have to research the cams yourself. However, I can tell you is the best value these days is a refurbed Canon HV20. It's a small handycam that shoots HDV and has a good audio setup including input. Right now, you won't be able to beat the value. It's about $420 US. Be aware that PAL cams can't send the video back to the cam for various reasons. However, you can simply store your productions on cheap HDD's these days.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/beginner-filmmaker-first-camcorder-recommendations#post-45963 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:56:41 +0000 CraftersOfLight 45963@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You might find EarlC's discussion on this topic of interest. </p> <p><a href="http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/current-posts-common-theme">http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/current-posts-common-theme</a></p> <p>As for which camera, might I suggest you look through the ones available through Amazon.com or B&amp;H Photo?

I hope to spend no more than £200-250 on the camcorder. I am pretty much a rookie, and don't know much so please also explain to me what the different types are. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!</p>
