Hello all, this may be the wrong section or even wrong forum, but I would imagine that with so many people in photography here, there is probably some overlap with those who do video as well. So, my wife has gotten bit by the camcorder bug and would like to get one so that we can capture all of those 'firsts' for our 11 month old daughter who is quickly growing up.
I must admit, that I know zero about camcorders, and have never really had much of an interest in them. Even now, I'd rather catch a heart warming moment on film/sd card than video. So, I thought someone may have some recommendations here as to brand/media type/etc. I'm thinking fairly low budget $500 or less, since I have a modest amount of $ invested in still camera equipment.
What will I do with it? As stated, primarily just get some short home movie type stuff. I don't plan to do any sporting events, no really low light/dark stuff, no professional video productions, no concerts, etc. etc.
Any advice? Mods, feel free to move this if it's too far off from center.
