Interesting. This camera looks exactly like another super shitty HD cam made by toshiba.

Basically, when it comes to HD camcorders, you pretty much have to pay at least 500 for something decent. If you lowball, you're going to be really disappointed.

as it has been mentioned in the OTHER THREAD YOU MADE, you wont find anything worthwhile under 500.

hv20 is your best bet, i got mine for 435

200$ will get you low quality consumer camera with little options( all useless and too basic) . this camera will probably break soon because they are un reliable if you use them more than once a year. for this reason, actualy looking around and comparing for a camera of this price is useless... their all the same basicaly. just go for the coolest looking one

A friend of mine got a Sanyo waterproof flip cam. It's not amazing or anything, but it's great for people who don't care about manual features and such. Just point and shoot and you get decent results, way better than a cell phone, but not nearly as good as an HV20. good enough for youtube.
