So...

Recently I was debating on getting a good SLR camera, like a Nikon D40+ or something. (I think thats an older model anyways)

Though, I came to realization that.. everyone and their sister has a camera and takes photos of the grass claiming to be deep. Whatever their motive is, I figure if I need a photo I'll just ask the majority of people around me.

Then I was moving on to Camcorders, and those HD ones are over a grand, was hoping for something less pricey, but I don't know shit about pixels and yadda yadda.

Any of you know anything about Camcorders? Where I can find one? How much should I pay? What should I look for? Etc. (Mainly to be used for filming skating and horse play.)

Drop it below, and already scanned newegg but even if you can find me a decent model to look at so I can get an idea of what to look for would be great.

always go sony and you can get the ones which record straight to dvd but the qulity is normaly less than one which uses a tape dunno bout the camcorders that record onto a HDD though

Fuck DVD, HDD all the way.
