Camcorder Recommendation?


Recommended Posts

I'm planning to buy a new HD camcorder, mostly because I'm not happy with my current JVC GZ-HD300, which saves everything as obscure .MTS files and uses lousy Everio software, among other annoyances.

 

I'd like the new machine to do at least this:

Record in full HD

Record to HDD (60GB minimum)

Easy drag-and-drop manipulation of files on the HDD

Easy backup to PC and easy upload to YouTube

Simple standard DVD creation (my kids love to watch DVDs of themselves)

Imprint date (superimpose) when making standard DVDs (my current JVC offers no way of getting the date on screen except when playing back in camera)

 

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I asked an old film school friend of mine who now works at a Boston camera & equipment rental place. He speaks in those technical terms that you use. I'll let you know when I hear back from him.

 

I understand what you are asking for, but I am not completely familiar with all of the different types of cameras out there to make a recommendation.
