Q. i am looking to create a documentary about the metal music scene in illinois and i need to know what kind of camcorder under 500 dollars i should use. what ever kind it is i need to be able to edit the footage on my computer. i would also be willing to rent a much more pro camera but i cant find prices anywhere.
A. First of all, you don't have to use the video card to input the video from your camcorder to your PC. Use a firewire or USB 2.0
As for renting, may or may not work for you. I can't imagine shooting a documentary like this in three days. If those prices IMO, it would be cheaper for you to buy a 3CCD camcorder, it would save you money in the long run and you can get a decent one in the $500 price range.
I might reccomend the Panasonic PVGS300 or PVGS250. The current model, (PVGS300), you might be able to find for under $500 bucks. In what I've read, the 300 does not have a mic input which may be a deterent for you. Also, check and see how it does in low light, if you're going to be filiming concert footage, this may be a concern as well.
Anyway, here's a review of the 300:

Which digital camcorder would you recommend?
Q. I've got a new baby coming in December and want a nice digital camcorder. Preferably something under 500 dollars. Which one would you recommend??
A. Consumer reports says these are good camcorders: Keep in mind that using the same model number but paying a little more for the upper of the models usually works just great. So like instead of the Pansonic PV-GS80, I got the PV-GS85 because it had a few more specs on it. Only cost $277 at circuitcity.
