Q. I need a camcorder to record my little sisters this Christmas. I was looking online and found some under $500 bucks, but I was worried about picture quality. Can you find a good one in the $500 and under range? If so can you state which one you own. Thanks!
A. I recommend Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder, this camera to take quick videos of the kids and the places we visit while on vacation and at school events. In the two weeks we have taken about 4 videos and all of them came out just great. The snapshot feature is ok, if you have nothing else, but I prefer a digital camera for my shots.
This model is very small. I bought a case for it that fits on my belt and I can carry it right next to my digital camera if I want. My wife likes the camera because it has an EASY mode and she feels very comfortable with that feature.
If you are looking for an inexpensive camcorder that gives great SD quality and does not use tapes then this model should be on your short list. For awhile I thought that my digital camera movie mode was pretty good until I tried to zoom in on a play at school and it just could not get the shot. Camcorders are made for movies and it shows.
I also bought a 16GB sdhc card from Amazon and it has worked perfectly.

What is the best 3CCD Camcorder for under 3K?
Q. This may be wishful thinking, but here's what I'm hoping for...
1080 HD with the capability of recording footage to a hard disk, 24p, interchangeable lenses, good low light performance, XLR ports etc. Another question.. How is depth of field controlled, and do any 3CCD cams rival the look of the 5 or 7D? I would appreciate the feedback, but don't bother if you're gonna be pretentious about it. Thank you.

A. Most camcorders even in the Prosumer range don't record to HDDs these days...most are solid state now. You'll see a lot of SDCH or CF card media cameras now in the high end cameras although the standard of P2, SxS, and XDCam will still be around for most people. I personally like P2 although I work with a news company that still works with XDCam camcorders.
I really like the new Canon XA10 camcorder. The small form factor is a bit worrying to some people at first but the sensor in it is full size and it offers things like XLR inputs and great image quality even in low light! The best part is it's only $2,000 new. The Canon XF100 HD isn't a bad choice either but I still prefer the XA10 over the XF100 at this time.
Also note those Digital SLR cameras are not really camcorders...they are high end still cameras with some built in video recording features added. I still tend to stay away from them these days because of their form factor.
