Q. I'm interested in film making, and I want to create a horror movie and send it out to film festivals. I already created a script and have the actors, however the camcorder I have isn't entry level. I'm only 16, so money is an issue. I have about $800 for a new camcorder that would be good in low light situations and film in HD. What would be a good camcorder for my budget?
A. Before you decide on which camcorder - or we make suggestions - we need to know if that $800 budget includes mics, lighting, cables, power, tripods or other steadying devices, computer upgrade for video editing, editing application and a few other things.
If the $800 is for the camcorder only because the other items are already budgeted elsewhere, then get the largest lens diameter and imaging chip you can afford. Most likely in the Canon HF M series.
If the $800 is for the camcorder plus everything else, then you really need to save more.
The *best* camcorders with good low light behavior are those with LARGE lens diameter (70mm or larger) PLUS large imaging chip (3CCD or 3CMOS). The closest I can get you is the Sony HDR-FX1000 which is about 3x more than your budget.
If you can't increase your camcorder budget, then learn to shoot "day for night".

This way you will not need a camcorder that has to be good in low light conditions... YOU control the lighting, don't let the camcorder control you.

Does anybody know where i can get a camcorder?
Q. I'm looking for a camcorder that's new and factory sealed. I already tried looking on ebay but they only have refurbished cams. Can anybody tell me a website or store where i could find a camcorder on a budget of $250.00 or less?
A. I would try qvc or hsn. We bought our camcorder from one of the home shopping channels and we got one better than we thought we could afford. The let you divide the payments up on a lot of their items but you get it delivered to your home paying just the first payment and S & H. There is no interest on these "flexible payments." We use it for all of our major electronic purchases.
For instance on hsn.com the have this one JVC 32x Optical Zoom MiniDV Camcorder - Item: 105-831. for 279.99 or 4 payments of 69.99 and free s & h.
If you don't have cable they have websites:
www.qvc.com or www.hsn.com
