.tv Video Camera Recommendation

[MillersCrossing]

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.....

Not really looking to spend more than $500 if possible......I will be shooting people interviews aswell as some slow moving footage - in other words - very basic requirements - no special effects required........the best recommendation will be based upon which camera has the easiest camera to website download capability............

Thanks

I can vouch for the panasonic. We just bought ours a month ago and love it. Feels just right in the hand.

When it comes to interw I would advise you to check if the chosen camera gets an external audio 'in' connector (XLR or mini-jack) for a (cardiod or supercardiod) microphone, either handheld or lavalier mic. Using the camera microphone of a "low cost cam" is usually a noisy disaster as most of them are 'omnidirectional' meaning that the embarked mic takes all audio sources around the cam.

By the way Intw.tv was available at standard reg fee a few week ago, it is still available but....as premium lol !

Argos is the expert in this area. What do you recommend JEAN FRANCOIS?

yea that panasonic seems good, but i think i would check cnet reviews/ other reviewers before i bought any camcorder. I have the canon ZR-500, which is $200, but one of the top 3 camcorders around for that price range. Canon has some of the best cameras and camcorders around now.
