What is the best camcorder under 600 dollars?

Q. Is it Panasonic PV-GS 180? If it is, i am going to get one.

A. If Panasonic is your choice, and if u have a budget tht much, get a GS300 instead, its only a step down frm their flagship consumer miniDV cam, the GS500 (but many prosumers still give the older model GS400 a higher mark).
Pana's range of miniDV camcorders r good. They offer 3 CCDs instead of 1, resulting more vivid and trueer color reproductions.
Also, if video quality and ease of editing r your main priorities, get a miniDV cam. The format is still superior compared to DVD/Hardisk-based formats on newer cams. Thats why pro video guys r still using tape-based camcorders. Tapes r also cheap n can be reused many times (but keep it max 5 times) and stick to 1 brand of tape only.
