What is the best camcorder buy for good amateur documentary?

If I buy the AG-DVC30 with the equipament, it will go almost $ 3000.

If I buy the DVX100b, with the same equipament (subtract the XLR adapter) it will cost $ 4500 with shipping.

The Sony DSR-PD170 with all equipaments (less the XLR adapter) goes $ 3900

All the equipament with the JVC GR-HD1, goes 2700, but somesay this camera sucks.

The sony DCR-VX2100, goes $ 3500 with all too.

The GL2 goes with all equipament almost $ 3300.

The acessories is UV filter, NTG-2 mic, XlR adapter if needs it, good XLR cable, extra better battery, cleaning cassete.

You know the better option?

If you can wait until April, JVC is making an $ 1,800 camera that is HD with a built-in 60GB hard drive – enough for several hours of video.

Like I said, go with the GL2 or DVX100b (or actually the dvx100a or dvx100′s are cheaper, but the B revision is newer, and overall better). And dont go with any internal HD cams (like the above mentioned JVC cam). Unless they are HDV mpeg-2 compression (which i doubt), theres a new type of technology called avchd which allows HD recording on DVD cams and HDD cams, but from what I’ve heard, they suck (compared to HDV), so stick with that. Hope this helps!

i just bought the jvc evario HD-300 today from best buy and can’t seem to get videos into my computer. When I take a still image, it works fine and uploads, but no video…. Im using a hp pavilion dv7 with windows vista home prem. Any advice to get me saving videos so I can start uploading to youtube??? Thanks

You need a piece of software with the right CODEC.

There is also a YouTube uploader for your camera at JVC.com
