check ebay and check best buy for open items...or u could just buy a kinda shitty one...Open items are the best, I got a dvd/receiever and 5 speakers and a sub which was originally 450 for 180

Why do you guys say, 'I have to take a shit' when you just leave it there?' JF learning english

yeah Definately check out ebay because you can get camcorders that are new for half the price.

I recommend Canon.
Me and some friends got a ZR10 for like 500$.
The lenses are supposed to be better but I haven't used any other brands.

I looked around for a while and was going to buy canon or panasonic but I ended up getting a JVC. It's a fairly low-end camera as far as extras go but it's got a 680,000 pixel CCD (fairly standard for 1 CCD cameras), it takes still pics, and it's got a built in light (that extra cash for most other cameras). For the price I paid I am very happy and I wouldn't bother getting anything better until I can afford a 3CCD camera.

I payed $480 for my Canon ZR-20. It's a $700 camera. Look for an open box special at a store and wait for rebates and sales.
