Q. Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a camera primarily for video making. I can buy either a Sony HDR S11 ($100) or a Pentax X5 ($85). The Sony is older (2008) but is more video focused and has a much higher retail price ($1,100) while the Pentax is newer (2012?) but has a much lower retail price ($200). Which would be a better buy? I'll provide more reading material on both.

A. if you can get the Sony for that price, it is a real steal. check to make sure the camera is not damaged and is complete. i use a JVC HDD of about the same vintage and find it quite satisfactory.
stay clear of the Pentax, it records movies in the Motion-JPEG format, a really poor codec. Having used Ricoh SLR, i know their products are well designed for photography. But the company has no experience in video and is way out of their league.
