Video Camera Help

Unread post by Saturnalia »

Mine has been acting up lately. I'm not lookingto fix it, because of its age, but rather replace it. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm looking at a budget of no more than $150, but do list great models above that figure. I'd like to have on that would work pretty good in lower-light and still good in daytime.
Thanks

Check out www.tigerdirect.com they have most of the popular models as well as good deals on discontinued models. The small little Nikon's work pretty good. I know a couple of people that have the small point and shoot cameras that do video as well. Very compact and decent video. You won't see many HD cameras in the $150.00 range unfortunately.

The main question you should be asking yourself is do you want a high definition camcorder or not. If yes, then your options are going to be very limited within the boundaries of your budget if you want a quality product. If no, then your options are little less limited.

Camcorderinfo.com is my #1 source for camcorder reviews and tests. I ran a search for camcorders under $150 and here is what I came up with.

Happy hunting.
