i everyone
I was wondering if anyone in the know could give me a little advice re purchasing a good camcorder - but at the lowest possible price...
The purpose of it will be to do some teaching/training videos. I want them to look professional, but I don't need to be dazzling anyone. Something that is reasonable and produces content that would not be open to criticism for being of poor quality.
Thoughts?
I've seen these at John Lewis....what would be the reasons for and against them?http://www.johnlewis.com/Shopping/Comparison.aspx?ARA=Electricals&CAT=Cameras+%26+Camcorders&SCT=Cameras+%26+Camcorders&PRT=All+Camcorders&PRTID=4000&OM-PageNumber=1&OM-SortOrder=0&ComparisonSkus=231536687|231575333|231536689
Thanks anyone who has time to respond :-)

The starting point in professional camcorders is manual audio levels, then 3ccd sensor .
Without manual audio level, nothing will ever be more than hit or miss.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Thanks! With manual audio levels what do you need to look for? Is there a certain level it must go to?
I'm a complete techie novice i'm afraid.... lol!0
