What camcorder should buy? [HELP]

[Razerium]

Hey I'm new at camcorders, and I don't know anything! Please explain everything..

I'm thinking about buying this camcorder. http/www.onequality.com/sony-dsrpd150-dvcam-3ccd-camcorder-pd150-p-184.html

I have a budget of around $800, and I want a very good looking camcorder which can record in 1080p on a hard drive. No tape. A LCD screen would be nice as well! I don't care if its user or not as long as it very good condition.

Please help!

Hi Razerium - sadly, the Sony DSR-PD150 you linked to is a 7 year old tape camera.

With your budget, I would get a new Panasonic HC-X900.for $681 (as of this post).

It records 1080p at 24 and 60 frames per second, has a viewfinder and an LCD screen, and records to solid state SD cards.

Here is what this camera can do:

Hope this is helpful!

You are going to have trouble finding a camcorder with professional features for $800. As brunerww mentioned the Panasonic HC-900M may be your best choice in that range that records HD footage, has internal memory, and a viewfinder. B&H has two used ones for $695 each (http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800988136-USE/panasonic_hc_x900mk_32gb_hc_x900m_3d_ready.html and http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800988409-USE/panasonic_hc_x900mk_32gb_hc_x900m_3d_ready.html)
