Q. Ok so I really want a good functional camcorder. I want one that has the flip screen thin so I could videotape and see myself. I may open a YouTube account so I want something that's good for that too. Make sure that it films good. Like HD if possible?? Ok thanks guys. Please help
A. Hi Erica:
First, your budget is a bit low for good HD, but you can still shoot "Standard Def" 16:9 widescreen (which on YouTube fills up the wide-HD format screen and looks just fine, if not better than most home-HD camera footage). Good quality standard-def cameras are less expensive than HD models.
And you'll find 1 or 2 flip-screen camcorders in your price range, but they won't be very good quality. (DXG is one cheap brand that comes to mind, but I can't recommend you get one.) The original RCA EZ1000 has a flip-out screen and sells for around $79, but the current RCA EZ2050 only has a rear-screen (and sells for much less). Sakar makes one that looks almost identical (except for the purple Nickelodeon colors) to the RCA EZ1000 (and Sakar probably makes them both) -- see: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/834592-REG/Sakar_38063_Victorious_Digital_Camcorder.html
I'd recommend you look for a "refurbished" (repaired or re-boxed by the factory & good-as-new) model from a manufacturer's online store or an Authorized Dealer for the brand you want. That will save you money and give you a better model than your $100 would normally buy.
The other option is to shop a large local camera store or pawn shop for a used model in your price range. (Personally, I'd also shop on eBay, but I have years of experience in buying used camera gear without getting ripped-off.) At a local store or pawn shop, you can at least check that the camera is working before you buy it.
I'll poke around for some more affordable reversible-LCD models for you, and add an update to my post with some links about each one. Decent, cheap brands are Sanyo, Samsung, and Kodak (although the Kodaks don't have a flip-out screen).
One trick you can try on a non-hinged LCD screen model is stick a small mirror under the lens side (like some camera phones use to help you aim for self-portraits) or aim a larger mirror behind the camera's LCD screen so you can see yourself in the image when shooting a Vlog or video diary.
hope this helps,

Best camcorder under $100?
Q. I wanna know the absolute best camcorder i can get for 100 dollars i know im not gonna be getting anything amazing but i want something that will do okay in low light conditions and that will give me crisp 1080p video and that will not look grainy.
A. Get experience first. I would suggest getting the Canon ZR960. It is a miniDV camcorder which will allow you to easily upload and edit your video on MovieMaker (PC) or iMovie on Apple. The ZR960 also allows you to use an external microphone, one of the few at that price that do.
Spend $20 and buy "The Little Digital Video Book"
This will give you an excellent start, and leave some money for pizza while you are out shooting video - also very important.
