Could you give a little more information about what you are looking for in a camcorder? For example, are manual controls important? How about low light performance? What about mic and headphone jacks? What is your budget?

You can compare the cameras and see which one best suits your needs and buy elsewhere if you don't like B&H. Keep in mind a larger sensor will probably give you better quality video. Please let me know if you need more help.

Sir, we will use it for short documentaries and music videos. low light performance isn't necessary but its optional. price range is about $200 US.. we just want good movie quality nothing else. don't care about mic.

Ok thankyou Sir.

You're welcome. I hope you find the camera that fits your needs.

It's hard to find a cheap video camera that will look good for more than basic use, you need more than $200 to get a good video camera. I have seen the GOPRO cameras do some great video, with lots of motion and they are tough.

hang-the-9 is absolutely correct. You sacrifice quality when going with a cheap camera. If possible and you can wait it is best to save for a better camera. In the long run you will be happier and produce better quality videos. I have the 2nd generation GoPro and it has worked well for me.
