Q. I have a camcorder I bought for €235 in 2011 which is 10MP. Indoors it is always grainy and fuzzy except in some very bright lighting. Outdoors it's better. Are there any camcorders available that are sharp indoors and in low light/dark environments and have little/no visible noise/grain?
My camcorder only has ISO controls for photographs and not video. It has a "Night mode" and white balance but no matter what settings I use, I almost always get grainy video indoors even with lights on.
My camcorder is Toshiba Camileo A35.

A. Good low-light means large lens filter diameter and large imaging chip. The large lens allows in more light; the large imaging chip can deal with what little light is available. You have already discovered that small lens diameter and small imaging chip doe not behave well. As camcorders increase in price, their lenses get larger - so do the imaging chips... You did not tell us which camcorder you are currently using, but at your price point, I would guess 30mm filter diameter and 1/6" single imaging chip. or you are using a digital still camera (maybe even a bridge camera) that happens to capture video as a secondary "convenience feature".
For low-light conditions, at a minimum, I use my Sony HDR-FX1. This was replaced by the HDR-FX1000. 72mm filter diameter lens and 1/3" 3CCD imaging chip. If it is really dark, then Panasonic AG-HVX200 with 82mm filter diameter and 1/3" 3CCD imaging chip works well... above this they start to get expensive.
If these cameras are too expensive, you have an alternative... learn to shoot "day for night". ADD light during video capture

and use a decent video editor...

What kind of a good, cheap camcorder is good for filming skateboarding?
Q. Okay, here is the deal. I am really into filming my friends skateboarding, but my brother just graduated and is taking his camcorder with him. This would be fine, but I know almost nothing about cameras, and would like to buy my own!
What I need is this:
1) A sharp clear picture for faster, more "Sportlike" videos
2) A price range of less then 500 US dollars
3) Something that isn't very bulky, like a small size like this (http://tinyurl.com/yogbdy)
Please and thank you!

A. I hope you aren't serious about it being small like the one in the picture...
Check out the Canon ZR series. That is probably going to be the best line of cameras for you.
