I'm considering buying an HD video camera for home movies. I need to know which one will give the biggest bang for the least amount of money possible. I just don't know enough about them to make a good decision.


Answer
You can learn more about the HD format here:

The best value currently is probably the Canon HV20:

it has excellent video quality - you can probably get it for less than $700 if you shop around.

Canon also recently announced the HV30:

so you can expect the price of the HV20 to be even lower when the HV30 is available for sale.

Can you suggest a video camera with these qualities?

I'm looking to buy an HD video camera that is SIMPLE to use (few bells and whistles), has auto stabilization, and is easy to upload the vids to other sites. Can you suggest one? Thank you.


Answer
I use a Sony HDR-FX1, HDR-FX1000, Canon HF S100, Canon PowerShot AS3300is and several other camcorders. All have "automatic" modes that means you only have to have storage media with available space in them, turn them on (either the battery is charged or the camera is plugged into AC power), point the camera at the subject and press record.

The first three camcorders also have other capabilities that allow the camcorder to use various manual features when I want them.

The first two camcorders connect with a single firewire cable for importing the video for editing. The last two cameras connect with a single USB cable for importing the video for editing.

Once the video is in the video editor, the editing gets done and the finished video project is exported and rendered. That file gets uploaded... to YouTube, FaceBook, Vimeo, or where ever I need to upload the video.

There is nothing inherently difficult about any of this - though the video editor can have a bit of a learning curve, there are lots of YouTube tutorials on how to use whichever editor you decide you want to use. If you have never done this before is might be a challenge, but once you've done it a couple of times, it is "easy".

Video cameras that meet your requirements can range from about $100 to about $80,000. Setting a budget is probably a good first step.
