    Hi everyone. I’m sorry if this is off-topic but I didn’t see where else to post.

    I’m looking for advice on a consumer camcorder. I’m very technical but have a limited budget since this is just an advanced hobby for me. My requirements seem rather simple to me on the surface:

    Required

  • Optical Image Stabilization
  • SDHC/SDXC Media
  • Min. 3 lux light sensitivity
  • Min. 12x zoom
  • Mini mic jack
  • Full 1920 x 1080 HD
  • 1/4 inch sensor
  • Under $400 Street Price
  • Preferred

  • 20x zoom or more
  • 1.5 lux light sensitivity
  • 1/3 inch sensor
  • 60i
  • 24p
  • Mini Headphone Jack
  • Is this even possible?

    I’ve also read that Canon has fallen behind in consumer camcorder features and is now surpassed by Panasonic but don’t know the specifics of this claim. I have an older Canon DSLR so have some brand loyalty but not if they aren’t competitive. I can’t afford the DSLR route for video (Rebel for example).

    Thanks!
