Q. I have looked around and don't believe i need a 'pro' level camera, i do plan to start a Business filming wedding videos, as long as the camcorder is hd and not a cheap rip off how good would the picture quality be?
A. I agree with Udda and lare... but neither actually answered your question...
1) Camcorder suggestions: Sony HDR-FX1000 or similarly priced. These have pro-grade lens and imaging chip systems, an only a 1/8" stereo audio input. If you insist, then a Canon XF300. You need the large lens and large imaging chip systems because you don't know at what venues you will capture video. The large lenses and imaging chip systems provide you a wider lighting range (i.e., lower light levels, but still acceptable video capture) that lesser camcorders will not allow.
2) We assume you already know about lighting, steadying devices (tripods, Steadycam vest systems with counterbalanced articulated arm, camera crane, dollys, etc.) becasue capturing video with the camcorder handheld is incorrect step #1.
3) We assume your computer can deal with importing and dealing with and exporting/rendering the final project video to whatever the client needs - optical disc, VHS tape, Blue Ray disc, external computer hard disc drive, etc in whatever video format needed.
4) We assume you have the audio portion covered so you know that multiple wireless lavaliers and shotgun mics and external recording devices are all things with which you are familiar...
Just so you know, it is easy to have standard definition video from a good camcorder look better that high definition video from a consumer-grade camcorder... it is all about video compression...

What camcorder is capable of HD recording and quality sound, but at a low price?
Q. I have a $100-$200 budget and I'm looking for a camcorder with HD recording. Thanks
A. HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.
Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video
