While not technically a camera camcorders are close enough so I stuck it in this section.

Anyways I'm in the market for a good mid-range camcorder. I want a flash memory based one to make editing it on my computer easier. I don't plan on changing too many of the settings. Basically I need a simple to use flash based camcorder for no more than $600~.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Hi there,
to be honest, im not very keen on digital camcorders, but for looking for cheaper products, here is a website for you www.digibelt.com
I've bought a Canon IXUS970 with a very good price, this new website got loads of good bargains, so hoping this could help

Hey robertito. I would rather like you look for expert reviews of the products that meet your criteria. Usually, these reviews have accompanying camcorder ratings which will be your basis in gauging the quality of the item that you're going to choose. This way, you can be sure that you're getting the best one. Good luck.
