save up and get an HV20.. its like 500.. anything under that is pretty whack, maybe a PVGS if you cant get the HV.

do you think that an HD cam for 200(like polaroid) is same quality more expensive non hd camcorder like PVGS? or maybe better or worse?

i spent the last month looking for a camera, i looked around a lot and i think an HV20 or HV30 would be a great idea, like 500 dollars and they shoot reallllly good quality

also i would shop around a lot, it took me a month to think about it and i probably should have thought about it longer
