I am looking for a good camera for my son who wants to make short films and use some kind of editing software on them. I would like to spend about $150 to $200. Where would I buy one too. There are still some good 8mm camcorders on the market, but the trend is going to digital formats such as mini DV, DVD or direct to Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Since you son wants to edit short films, mini DV would be the best option for compatibility and vary of video editing software. Here's a list of current camcorders sorted by price (low to high):

you should be able to find a decent camcorder for around $200. The best deals seem to the online, but also look for special holiday sales at your local electronics store (Circuit City, Best Buy) and even Walmart, Target, etc. |
