Q. Im an amateur movie maker, and I am looking for a camcorder under $1000. Picture quality and an external Mic hook up is what is most important to me, but i would like it to have a good manual focus as well. Easy of use is not that important to me. Any suggestions?
A. The only camcorders that meet your requirements - and has manual audio control - are the Canon HV40 and HF S100.
Get the HV40 if your computer has a firewire (IEEE1394) port and your editor can deal with HDV format video. Get the HF S100 if your computer only has USB and your editor can deal with AVCHD compressed MTS video.
Neither camcorder has a focus ring - but they both have a thumbwheel at the left-front of the camcorder that can be used as a manual focus control. Both are considered consumer camcorders because the lenses and imaging chip are small.
