Video camera recommendation?

[mrodock]

I found the Panasonic cameras to be the best for the money I was willing to spend after doing quite a bit of research. I purchased the Panasonic PV-GS150 3-CCD Mini-DV Camcorder 6 months ago from beachcamera.com. It was $497. I find it to be an excellent camera. Going in I wasn't willing to spend that much, but I really believe I got great value and would have regretted spending less I believe. But it is something I use a lot so it was important to me to have one that was very high quality but within my price range.

It is surprisingly good in "low light" conditions.

Teach it all depends on your budget. High Definition seems to be the way to go now with 1/10000 + shutter speeds. But this will cost.

Ive had a few Sony cameras over the years and I have to say they've been all great. I know from friends that Panasonics are good as well so I can only assume that the software houses are being paid to promote a certain camera.

I bought myself a Panasonic GS180 a couple of months ago - awesome camera and has all of the manual adjustments that you will ever want or need.

If you do a search you'll see some vids that i posted up a while back.
