  • Looking to buy a camcorder, tips?

    Posted by Baptiste Carrara on August 17, 2012 at 4:26 am

    Looking for a Canon (Or Nikon) camcorder to do shooting with.
    As a college student, my budget is very limited so I maybe buying used.
    I currently use the Flip Video and I’l like an upgrade form it.
    Something HD, of course.
    30 FPS or 60 FPS.
    The Flip has the huge issue of becoming very crappy footage in low light, I would like something that doesn’t do that.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    What’s your budget? How about the Canon Vixia HF G10?

    That is way over my head.
    My budget is around $300-$350.
    But I am willing to buy used.
