I was hoping I could lean on some of the techie knowledge around here to find a decent camcorder. It usually helps if I post a few guidelines, so here it goes:
-I'd like to stay around $500 or so. If it's the best deal since sliced bread, I may be able to swing a bit more, but I'd like that to be my starting point.
-From what I've read, I think I'd like one of the hard drive based camcorders. That's not set in stone either, and I don't really know the plusses and minuses other than it seems convenient.
-The occaision is the first new addition to the family (woohoo!), so it will mostly be used for sending the grandparents video clips and making memories of the baby times. So while using it to tape recitals and sports would be useful, that's probably a few years away.
-I will probably be using it both indoors and out, so a versatile picture is a big bonus.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
