Can you help me find best camcorder for my mom, around 300 bucks? See details please.?
Q. I am trying to find the perfect camcorder for my 60 something yr old mom. She has been using an old video recorder from the 90's (a compact VHS with 20x zoom and image stabilizer...she was GREAT with it, but it has become pretty much obsolete). It can't be more than say 320 dollars (less would be nice...I saved up and have tax refund money). It would have to have stabilization for shaky hands. It would have to work on my laptop, which has windows vista. At least 35x optical zoom. Must work with SD card (I don't know what that is, but ironically, my mom DOES and has told me what she needs). It can have DVD or not. It must have light (as in flashbulb...I don't know the current technological word) so she can take pictures and video of a black cat in a dark room (LOL...that's her baby kitty). It would be nice to have ability to use flash drive (removable USB drive thingee you put on a keychain and carry around). It would seem to me that all camcorders would be able to also take still pictures (???) but if not, that's another thing she would definitely want.

I am sorry I am just now myself learning some of the vocabulary...it all is very confusing, to say the least!!! The technobabble I've run into in my searches so far has my head spinning!

Those are about the main points I can THINK of. I appreciate any advice!

A. If it has to have SD card, go with Panasonic. Sony camcorders uses Memory Stick.

Panasonic has a wide range of camcorders that will fit your need and budget. Easiest thing to do is go to your local electronic store and talk to a sales associate.

Features to look for:
Recording media. Either tape, DVD or hard drive. DVD might be easiest for your mom. Just record and play in any DVD player.
Most has decent zoom, just find one that you want.
Almost all has imagine stabilization.
Hooking up to your laptop. If it is a DVD then it is ready to play right off the disc. If you're looking for video editing, go with mini DV Tapes and find a camcorder that has firewire hook up, your laptop must have firewire too. I don't think DVD camcorders have firewire, you'd be lucky finding one.
SD is Secure Digital memory card for capturing digital images. Most camcorders also have built in digital cameras. If it does, it also comes with a USB port (this is not firewire). The USB hooks up to your USB port to transfer the images, not video.
Some, not all camcorders have built in light. Find one that has.

Make a list before heading off to the store so you'll know what to look for. It is easy to over look something you want once you start shopping. Camcorders have become cheaper now, so for $320 you'll have no problems finding something you like. Good luck!
