Hey everyone,

I have been looking for a better camcorder so i can get HD videos. I HAVE AT THE MOMENT JVC evernio GZ-MG77U.

I have looked at Kodak zi6, Flip Mino HD, Samsung sc-hmx20c ($600), hmx-h104 samsung, sc-mx20...

Any other suggestions? Better once? I am looking for cheaper price but HD and nice quality. I know one of them cost $600 i dont have but i might get my family into getting an upgrade...

Also, i see people use cameras which some turn out wih great videos.

Thanks.
Let me know.
 
I'm not too informed on HD cameras, but a buddy of mine has the flip mino and loves it. The built in USB is pretty useful.

Looks like you're looking at more portable cameras? I would go with the Flip Mino HD, but if you want to look at some other cameras, I'd recommend checking out some of the cheaper-end Sony HD ones. Also, Sony is a good brand when it comes to more professional cameras (you said your family might be upgrading.) Sony builds good hardware that you can trust will last a good while. Hope that helps. 😀
 
I'm not an expert either, but I'm very happy with my new Flip Mino HD. Very easy to use, and the picture quality is better than I expected. Something else to consider is the new Flip Ultra HD, which allows for 2 hours of recording. It's even cheaper than the Mino! From what I can gather, the only downside is that it's not as slim as the Mino.
