Hey,
i'm going for a little traveling and want to get a decent digital camcorder. Ideally, i'd like to spend up to $400. But if nothing good is really out there, i could go a little higher.
Please let me know which models you can recommend. I don't really want to buy a piece of garbage just to use once, so i'd rather pay a little more to get something better.
Thanks.

i meant 'on the way (to my house)'
from what i read it chugs batteries like there is no tomorrow!
but get a few spares and thats a price i'm willing to pay for great image
+ a couple more hundred bucks get you a 35mm adapter that allows you to control depth of field - and actually film something good! :D

Ok. I decided to save and got a FS100 today from circuit city. Although the cam itself looks nice, it shoots pretty terrible at home with lights turned on. It's really really grainy and unpleasant looking unless you have a strong light next to the subject you're filming. A big disappointment. I still need to check out how it films during the day. If it's going to be a great quality, i may consider keeping it. But if it's going to look like it's from a cellphone, i will return it.
The question is -- does this HF10 or HG10 (bigger matrix) is any better in low-light conditions. And by low-light i mean a pretty strong light i have in the kitchen... it's pretty damn visible. Elpasso, i would love to see some video samples if you get it soon. But i need something because i'm leaving in one week to Israel.
