Q. I want to buy a new camcorder, but my budget is about $700 tops. I am looking for a camera with manual controls, such as manual focus while recording. I also would like one with a good zoom and an external mic input. It needs to have full HD video, but also preferably 720p. I would also like it to have the ability to take still pictures, for I am beginning to take a photography class in school. What is the best camera that has all of these characteristics and has the best quality picture (not necessarily resolution, but best quality or clarity)?
A. Ok! This sounds interesting! I highly recommend the HV20. It has everything you listed that you want here: Easy to use manual controls: Focus buttons, picture taking button, video record button, sensitive and vast zooming switch, night vision, you name it! It has optical zoom and digital zoom and has the ability to mount an external mic on the top, (even a 5.1 surround sound mic if you want!) It takes still pictures and video in both standard: (640x480 fullframe & 856x480 widescreen) and high-definition:(1920x1080 for video and 2048x1536 for pictures).
The HD that comes out of this camcorder is phenomenal! You are going to be pleased with the results! I bought mine a while ago and love it so much I would never upgrade. Make sure to get the HV20 not HV30. The 'upgrade' is not much of an upgrade!
I got my HV20 here: http://www.theavworld.ca/recording.php under 'High-Definition camcorders' and they even have camcorder bags and the external mic(s) you wanted.
I believe its about $1,100 right now but totally worth the money, and so with the additions your bill would come out about $1,300 at most I assume including those extra goodies.
p.s. This camcorder is durable and will not 'crap out' on you after a short time. It last long and continues to work for me years later. It's not that old though, maybe 4 years, (mine that is).
