Camcoder for outdoors?

[ju1ce]

I need to buy a camcoder for outdoor shootings (public nudity). I'm not sure if it should be HD, some say HD is bad for streaming... I just want that the quality should be high enough to keep the visitors of a paysite happy. So please recommend me just something not too heavy, not too cheap and also not too expensive.

Hmm, zero answers? I thought I'd get at least some tipps here

What about Panasonic NV-GS180 for example? Is it good enough?

There are a lot of threads recommending various cameras, you should search them and read. I like the Sony VX-2100 for standard def filming, and one inexpensive option for hi-def would be the Sony FX-1.

You're right, there are many other threads about camcoders, but I think there's a big difference when you want to shoot only outdoors with it. Those you recommended are quite big and it might be a problem to walk 2-3 hours on the streets wearing such heavy equipment.

Try
Sony DCR-DVD405 with stunning 2 MP for video (3 MP for still images), which is HD.
