    What's a good handheld HD video camera?

    My JVC that I've had for over ten years is finally starting to fuck up....I don't buy new shit unless something breaks so now I have an excuse to upgrade...

    I want either a HD camera or a good video camera that records straight to a DVD disc or even better, a flash drive.......I prefer Sony's...

    Any tips?

    Never used Sony, I love the Canon HV 30, shoots amazing HD, CMOS 3.1 megapixel for about 700 on ebay, they were 1100 a pop last year.

        Bingo! http://bingocameras.com/shop/product...oducts_id=1364 <-- $439

        Buy extra batteries... you only get 30-45 minutes out of the battery that comes with the camera. These use MiniDV but It is compatible with almost every software package and has a firewire interface.

          I've got the Sony HDR-HC5. It's a year or so old, but I have no complaints. My parents and sister in law both have the same model and love it too.

          Spend you some brain.

              If your hand doesn't shake like a fat chicks ass, try JVC GZ-HD7

              Been using it for 6 months and it works great

              1080i 60Gb hdd, manual focus rings, cool hood and surprisingly good sound from built in mic, as well as a shoe and line-in/out/hdmi

                What's your budget?
                We have a 2 cannon & 2 sony hd video cams in the office that we only use for coping tapes. I believe they run around $700/$800 each about 2 years ago. Not sure on the model # but can check when go into office on monday.

                  Might not be TRUE HD, but anyone used the little HD camera? Like this one.

                        My mom has a little Kodak Zi6 and the video quality is pretty impressive for a little sub $200 pocket video camera.

                          The youtube videos are converted to flv, how does it look in it's original format? Do you have any samples?
