Q. i am looking for a good camcorder less than 300 dollars with good focus and quality.
A. HD camcorders 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 processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.
Consumer level HD camcorders 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, 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 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. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders 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.

High-Def Camcorder Quality?
Q. I looking into buying an HD Camcorder such as the SR7, SR11, or SR12.
I was wondering, if I will be able to achieve the professional looking quality , but more specifically the COLOR as in movies; as apose to the faded out, bright colors in home videos.
I just want to know if I will be able to achieve those results, even if it requires the use of computer software.
(Finally, can someone say which of the 3 cameras above is best)
Thank You.

A. Yes you can achieve similar recorded quality, but not exactly as great as professional camcorders. The difference is that the consumer camcorders you chose have consumer lenses, image sensors, and video processing systems while the lenses, video chips, and other electronics on the professional camcorders are much, MUCH better. Some people may not realize or care about the difference in the "feel" of the video, but many will notice it.
If you can afford these consumer Sony Models, then you can also afford the professional Sony HVR-HD1000 (high definition) http://motionpicturecentral.com/book/camcorders/sony/sony-hvr-hd1000-high-definition-1080i-single-cmos-hdv-professional-camcorder or the Panasonic Pro AG-DVC20 (standard definition). The Sony HVR-A1 http://motionpicturecentral.com/story/sony-hvr-a1-compact-single-cmos-high-definition-1080i-hdv-professional-camcorder or the newer HDR-FX1000 http://motionpicturecentral.com/story/sony-hdr-fx1000-handycam-hdv-professional-camcorder may also be within reach.
If you have to get the consumer camcorders, there is a way you can give the look and feel of professional video to your home movies. You will need to purchase a professional video editing program such as Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Final Cut Pro, Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS, or Avid Media Composer. These programs can cost a few hundred dollars to as much as your camcorder. With this video editing software, you can adjust the visual characteristics of the video (gamma, color, and more) to make home videos seem more professionally filmed.
Your best bet is to use the money you were going to use on the consumer cameras and purchase a basic professional camcorder for the same price.
