Q. I need recommendations for camcorder that is easy for a first timer, has good sound and video quality, and may be hooked up to a computer without having the hassle of tapes and what not. I'd really like to keep it under three hundred dollars. The cheaper, the better!
A. For under $300 I would suggest JVC Everio MS120 Dual Flash Camcorder
40x Dynamic Zoom with Konica Minolta lens
Laser-touch operation with sub-trigger and zoom
One-touch upload to YouTube
Capture video to SD/SDHC memory cards

Great Camcorder under 300?!?
Q. I'd like a camera which shoots 24p has great picture and sound quality.
I'm a young indie filmmaker, so I make short skits etc.
I really emphasise great pic and sound quality to have my vids looking professional.
I was considering the Canon Vixia HF R 20/200 but can't find it anywhere available to Ireland .
Suggestions?

A. Hi Dillon:
The Canon "Vixia" line is for USA & Japan. You want the "Legria" models (e.g., Legria HF-R26 ,-R28, and -M400), which are for the UK/Ireland (and Europe) markets. Some Canon model #'s are available in both versions, others have USA-only and UK/Europe-only models.
Since you are in Ireland, and Y!A is a world-wide forum, it helps if you say "under £300" or "under 300 Euros" or whatever currency you mean, otherwise most of us Yahooligans are in the US and think "USD dollars".
For the best picture quality in a consumer-priced model, I'd recommend the Canon HV40, which is sold in both the Vixia and Legria lines, and uses both miniDV tape (best fidelity with lossless compression) and SD card storage (next-best quality). It also allows external audio from mikes and mixers, for really good sound.
And don't get caught up in the whole "cinema look" 24p thing. That's a high-end digital cinema "hype" setting that few consumer-level models will shoot at (nor need to). I don't see a teenage filmmaker ever wanting to pay for a 35mm 24fps film transfer print. Plus, there's a lot more to capturing "that film look" than just frame-rate, which you won't find in a non-pro model. Shoot at 25p or 50p (PAL TVs) or 30p/60p (NTSC TVs) and enjoy the more fluid motion-capture that the higher FPS allow you to capture. (You can always "down-convert" in the editing stage.)
hope this helps,
--Dennis C.
