need help finding Camcorder for holidays
Hi,
I'm going to be looking into getting a camcorder this winter season and need some help in finding the best bang for the buck out there. I have never owned a camcorder nor have any clue on what specs are good for them. I do know that there are SD and HD ones out there and that I think an HD would be my preference. I would be using it just for family indoor outdoor events for the most part. Looking to spend 100-350$ in promo/after discounts.
Any comments, ideas, suggestions, tips greatly appreciated.

Tiger dorect has one that is $99 right now and is made for just about anything. it does have limitations, such as a fixed width lens and from what i have read it doesn't do well at long distance. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&sku=C256-0002

Thanks that does seem line a nice little camera although I don't think its the type I would be looking for now. More interested in a "handycam" type camera.
Heres one that I found, what you think about that.

Depending on the quailtiy of the construction, that looks like it's more in line with what you are after. I'd look for a couple reviews, and go look on the toshiba site to see what else they say about it. but I'd like to get one of those if it was in the budget. (which it's not.)

Any difference that I get is the digital and optical zoom all other specs are like black magic, any thoughts?Setup:#1 Intel i7 2600k @ 4.7 GHz, Mobo: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe B3, Memory: Gskill Ripjaws 2133 2x4GB
