I want to try to dive into some short film making. What is a good mid line digi cam in the 150-200 range. I would like one that the viewing screen can rotate so I can film myself if needed. Oh yeah, good zooming would be great! Am I looking for too much in a camera at this price range? You can buy camcorders with mini DV. These will be cheap. Many camcorders have the rotaing screen and optical zoom. Sony DCR-HC series can meet your requirement in this price range. DCR-HC32 may be the best. You better search in the 'ebay.com' for more choice and brands. You chek the price and the specifications. There are plenty of those for you below $200. Assuming you're talking dollars or pounds, 150-200 is more budget than mid-range, but they still give good results. Sony and Canon are both worth looking at. |
