First off, I am looking to spend around $1200. I mostly am shoorting interviews and would like a camcorder that will last me three years or so. I am so lost at all the options. Here is a local option
<span style="font-size: 12px; color: #656565;">Someone is selling a </span>
<span style="font-size: 12px; color: #656565;">Canon XL1 S for $1200 comes with
Camera package comes with all the original gear + manual + 3 batteries
He said
"Hours are a total estimate, but would guess, somewhere between 200 + . I shoot weddings primarily and that camera has seen some action but still in good working order, could definately use a Canon service, lube and cleaning of the heads, will cost around $60.
The one thing I do remember at one time I was playing a DV tape back to review some footage and the tape got "crunched" or "eaten". I have not played tapes back since then.
Everything else in good working order. Let me know if you want to see it first hand."</span>
<span style="font-size: 12px; color: #656565;">Should I buy this? Should I buy something else. Please advice. </span>
