Znews.com --
Digital video technology prices are better than ever. Right now you can get an excellent entry-level handheld digital video cameras for $400-$1,000. Many of these cameras also allow you to take still digital photographs, but don't expect them to be as good as a dedicated digital (still) camera, or film.
Make sure you get a camera that suits your needs, as some cameras come with a load of features you may not use, and they add a lot to the pricetag. On the other hand, a cheap camera may have disappointing video results. The following reviews cover a range of good value video cameras.
Overall, the Sony DCRTRV240 gets good reviews for its compatibility with 8mm and hi-8 tapes, and it's mic input. Canon ZR45MC is lauded for its small size, excellent ergonomics and design and good video quality. And the Panasonic SVAV10 MPEG4 Digital Camcorder, though lacking in some video quality and features, is a tiny package with voice-record, MP3 and digital still camera that makes it easy to take with you anywhere. As the technology is changing quickly, if you're just getting started with digital video, you may want to try out one of these less expensive models first.
