Camcorder for Wedding

Options
Hello all,

I am getting married in July and are looking for a decent camcorder for us to film our wedding on - both church and evening and then our honeymoon, ideally we are looking to buy from Argos as we have vouchers there and are able to go up to £1500 for the right camera

My big concern is finding a camera that will film the church well as I know that some cameras struggle in low lighting

Has anyone got any ideas?

Below is the camcorders Argos currently have

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

    If its just for the wedding/honeymoon, why not hire one? You'll get a much better camera for much less money.

    BTW, if I were buying a "camcorder" for £1500 I wouldn't bother with any traditional camcorder. I'd get a Canon DSLR like the 550D or 7D and buy a decent lense. You get a fantastic DSLR with excellent HD recording and it will be far superior to any compact camcorder for that money. They are being used widely by professional video producers - the 5D (more expensive) was used to shoot an entire episode of "House".
  • Canon Legria / Vixia models are great HD quality cameras. Good reviews
