    camcorder recommendations?

    I am making a one hour video that's similar to Supersize Me/Jackass style. What camcorder(s) would be recommended for such a thing?

    Thanks in advance.

    We have the Sony HVR-A1E hdv camcorder for family stuff and the quailty is amazing. Not that good in low light though.

        I am thinking of getting the Sony HDR-HC1 which is HDV, how much better is HD than HDV?

          Also, when moving to HD will I have to get a new Macintosh computer? I have a mac g4 1.2ghz 768mb ram mini.

          Would it be best to just go with say an XL1 then I would save on upgrading my computer and still have excellent quality?

            I have a Sony DCR-DVD405 and it's excellent, which I recommend to you (from a reputable company):
            Brand New Sony DCR-DVD405 for sale here
            It has an excellent image quality, 2 MP for video and 3 MP for still images, 5.1 for the sound ...

            However, if you want a Sony HDR-HC1, which is better but more expensive, here you have the link:
            Sony HDR-HC1

            One remark though: do NOT buy from any online store, many are scam artists, with low prices displayed based on "bait and switch" ...
            Do a search first for an online store on
            www.resellerratings.com
            and read the reviews ...
            $9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage! ; use any of these invitation codes: 216263692101; 408636009193; 846090586647; my ICQ 30160426!
