Original Question

What camcorder should I get?

Q. I want something with relatively good video quality and very good audio quality. I'm a songwriter and I like to record my songs, but I'm only willing to spend about $250-$300 dollars on one. What kind of camcorder should I get?

A. I recommended Canon FS200 Flash Memory Camcorder with 37x Optical Zoom.
Price: $299.00
Technical Details
Record video directly to a removable SDHC memory card
Genuine Canon lens with 41x Advanced Zoom, 37x optical zoom and 2000x digital zoom
Digic DV II image processor
Widescreen HR recording, Dual Shot Mode and Image Stabilizer
Ultra-sleek, lightweight design allows you to take your camcorder with you anywhere

Zoom is good, and a steady hand or tripod is highly recommended for longer shots. Quick to start up, the auto lens cover is great, battery life also great.
