Needing help in picking a new camcorder and what type to buy? I am looking to purchase a new camcorder. I currently own a panasonic VHS-C camcorder. Right now I am recording on these tapes and then dubbing them with my DVD recorder. I run my own website and I want to put videos on my website. Here is what I would need: - Good night recording, for fireworks and such - Good day quality recording - Image stabilization - Good sound recording - Fairly easy to use - Prefer small over large body - Ability to put video onto website pretty easily, not a must - Good battery life - Good zoom Still photos are not important to me. I heard that with Mini DV you can plug into DVD recorder with a cable and record the video onto the DVD. I was originally looking into a DVD-cam, but the DVD-cam reviews don't seem to be good. I don't know which I should get. I'm also not sure which models are the best. I prefer to stay under $400, so I would like to know the best models under $400, I'm willing to go higher, so better models would be welcome. Editing is not something I will need to do with my video, so I don't think that a hard drive cam is right for me. The most important things for me is the overall video quality, something that record good/great in most situations. Second, I want to be able to get my video on media that is universal. This is why the DVD cam interested me at first, but have since changed my mind based on reviews. But I heard on TV that there is a cable that can be plugged into my DVD player and I can record directly from the camera to DVD. Is this true and if so, is this cable included? Any more advice on what camera to get would really be appreciated. I'm trying to get an idea of my options before I make my purchase.

How do I transfer whats on a videotape to my new Sony camcorder NOT just by recording the TV screen? Hi - I had an older camcorder - it was an analog sony handycam of the late nineties - and there was a way to put it in VTR mode (i think thats what it was called...when you put it in the mode to watch the vids) there was a way to hook it up to the tv press a couple camcorder buttons simultaneously so that the picture on the television was transferred to the camcorder and you could record it directly by using the cable and pressing a few buttons. I cannot figure out how to do this with my new camcorder - it's a sony digital DCRHC36 (it takes those little mini-tapes) and i've resorted to filming the screen but that just is not working (fuzzy pic, stripes, outside noise, etc) does anyone know how to do with the new camcorder what i was able to do with the old one? THANKS!

To Buy a new Camcorder or stick with old 8mm? I currently have a Sanyo CCD-TRV87 8mm Video cassette recorder. It needs a new battery, but other than that it works fine. I would actually end up purchasing two new batteries for it, as we have a few family vacations planned. I am considering spending around $300 - $350 for a new standard definition video camcorder. It is worth the investment to purchase a new digital camcorder or just spend the money and replace the batteries and keep the old unit. Thanks!

I need to buy a new camcorder? After 12 years I now need to buy a new camcorder. I'm only familiar with the old tape ones.

What software to copy camcorder DVDs to my computer, edit them, and write them to a new DVD? I have several mini (8cm) DVDs which have been recorded on by a DVD camcorder - what software should I use to copy the videos onto my computer, edit them, and write them back to a different DVD? A few notes to bear in mind: - the DVDs are formatted in VR mode as opposed to Video mode, and I'd want to write back to a new DVD in Video mode so the software would have to be able to deal with both and do any nessecary conversions - the different clips are all stored in one title and are split by chapters, and I'd want each chapter separated into different files - the videos are recorded at different qualities and aspect ratios, so the software would have to be able to deal with 4:3 and 16:9 at various quality levels, and preferably convert between them - I currently have a distinct lack of disk space, so a program which saved to disk with uncompressed AVI wouldn't much use as I'd run out of disk space far too fast. Any questions, please don't hesitate to message me.
