So I got a trip planned later this year and I'd like to take some video while I'm there. Obviously there are a ton of different types/brands/etc and I've never owned one before. I'm looking to see if any of you have any experience/recommendations on which brands are good or which models are good.
I'm not trying to break the bank on one as I see some are in the $500-$1000+ range. Don't think I need a fancy one like that nor will I get a cheap crappy one either. I had been looking at the Canon FS400 as well as a couple from JVC but not sure if one is better than the other or what. I think the max I'm willing to spend is around $300 or so.
Any of you have any suggestions on what camcorder is a good bang for the buck?
PS I'm not into the whole Flip camcorders as I think they look like crap. Looking for something a little more upscale than those.
