Hey guys, going to be purchasing my first camera this spring, and have decided to go with a sony handycam. Do any of you recommend a certain one? How do you like them? Pros and cons? Looking to spend around 600 or less on just the cam. Also, what accessories? Thanks
For your budget, this is a killer deal - http://www.campbellcameras.com/shop...on-HFR-100-Outdoor-Package__405CANHFR100.aspx $500 gets you the camera, mic, camera bag and a few other goodies. You really can't beat that deal.
I know this is just over the $600 mark but this camera is something that im looking to get fairly soon- http://www.firstclasscameras.com/cla/product_info.php?products_id=2518 Not to be your money manager by any means but if your willing to spend $600 or so, dish out another 115 and get something that is like professional quality. Good luck.
Justin I agree, but I would be worried as if the camera itself isnt high enough quality?? Lowlight and mic jacks etc Very good point. Lots of goodies come with it too....do you use one of these? It looks like a good camera. I will have to take that into account. Will it be that much better than a 5-600 handycam do you think? I do not know much about all the "camera lingo"
Oh $hit... I had no clue, i just found the cheapest one i could find online. Thanks for letting us know man. But back to the camera, its a really nice camera. I dont have it yet but as soon as i find a new website with a fairly good price il probably order one. Ive seen plenty of videos about it, read reviews- its a hell of a camera for the money. Sorry about the link guys, i didnt know they were scammers!
Dang thats a pretty good deal. Are they nice cameras and should I be worried that it is reconditioned?
Well dont bother with that sight- seems to be a scam that i wasnt aware of. What i can tell you though is that its a pretty good camera. I saw another link online like 2 weeks ago and they were asking $650 for the camera new. Maybe look on ebay or craigslist.
Campbells camera isnt a scammer its the one you posted. I have only heard good things from campbells cameras. You should check it out.
Oh no i was referring to the link i posted, i know campbell cameras isnt scamming... Sorry for the confusion.
No problem..... Just didnt want others to think that they were a scammer. I figured you just worded it wrong.
cambell's is a reputable name in the outdoor film industry obviously, as a type of distributor/site. I have always liked them. I like their whitetail package and wish i could afford one of their professional cams, i just dont think that camera is where I want to start.
