What's a good camcorder for an amateur filmmaker?

Q. Ok, so I'm almost a sophomore at a college prep school, and i'm looking for a low-medium quality camcorder. My budget is at most $1,500. Slightly over is fine, but that doesn't mean $1,750 is! For the camera i need the ability to:
- plug in an external mic
- shoot in HD
- mount onto a tripod
- shoot in a mac-friendly video format
Thanks for your help!

A. wow thts a lot of money i just use the iphone if you have one has really great video quality and u can put it on a tripod


What's the best camcorder for independent horror movie?
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.
