HD Video Camera

[ClayW]

I'm in the market for a new video camera. I know the HD's lack the big zooms but I think they're getting better. Also, what's the best for low light situations? All recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks guys

Sony has had HD for years. If you go Sony most models also have IR for low light to dark shooting. But at complete dark your limited to about 15 yards on darkest nights and maybe 25-30 yards full moon.

Thanks... I'm not too worried about complete dark, more of dusk and dawn

I have a canon and its excellent look at their line of cameras.

I ended up getting the Canon Vixia HF S200... I should be getting it this week sometime.

Thanks for the input guys

I was about to recommend the Cannon Vixia HF S200, but it looks like you already got one. This is the camera I use. I think you'll like it.

Can you get a wide angle lens and a shotgun Mic for it through canon?

I have the new Samsung HD blah blah blah...it takes great video!

I believe you can get both items... it has the accessory shoe. This evening will be my first time out with it. I'll be able to test the sound and low light recording

Yes, I have both on mine. They don't have to be through Cannon, you can get aftermarket accessories.

for wide angle i would go with the Raynox
