Best Video Camera?

[Foote 10+ year member]

Looking for one for my gf for christmas. You guys are electronics buffs so Ima ask you guys...whats the best one for about the $250-$500 range...

It needs to be easy to work..shes no electronics guru by any means...so it needs to be simple. But I want it to be a good one..you know as far as picture and sound quality go.

Um...It HAS to be one with removable hard drive type thing..no tapes. Just flash-drive or memory card type things.

So if you guys could help me out and point me in the right direction for where to look to not get ripped off id like that. Thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

one with a hard drive

yes, one with a removable hard drive of some kind, like i stated.

Anyone can be more specific in pointing me in the right direction for a good buy?

i dont think there are any with a removeable hard drive or any hard drive ones for around 200. Just get a tape one. Sound and video quality is good and they are EASIER to upload video onto your computer than a lot of hard drive ones (our sony hard drive is some weird format that windows movie maker doesnt support)

Oh i see..........

How does it do with sound? cant find any details on that..

any certain models?

flip video ultra series. the only thing that may turn people off is the amount of video it can store. 1 hour or so. being able to directly upload it to your computer makes that drawback a little more tolerable.
