Best Camcorders – Video Cameras

Buying a video camera or camcorder today can be a daunting experience — so many makes and models, and so many differences in performance, features, and price.

In the same price range, different camcorder brands and model variations can be quite different in what they can do and how well they do it.

New models come out frequently that if you don’t look closely, you’ll be buying last year’s leftover model when a newer version of the same model is available with better performance and features, and maybe even a lower price.

We have looked at hundreds of actual buyer/owner reviews and professional evaluations of many different camcorder brands and models in what we call the “mid-level” category — not low-cost, low function models, and not expensive high-end professional models — but models that are reasonably priced and provide stunning HD video footage, adequate internal digital memory that can be expanded, great ease of use, still photo capability (so you don’t need two cameras), good low-light performance, and image stablization (“shake control”) that actually works (some don’t).

Of the models we examined, we selected the one we felt was the best camcorder on the market right now. The model we selected has received great user reviews and most buyers love it.
