Default Which camcorder do you use for video?
There's been much debate over whether video belongs on the SLR. For those who think that they're two separate entities, which camcorder would you use for video (ideally pocketsized and not too expensive )

canon xl1s and panasonic dvx100b. the panasonic is much better in low light but the canon does just as well if you give it just a little light. its pretty good for a 10 year old camera. neither one is pocket size unless you are Shaq.

I just bought the Canon FS200. It's new but not HD. However, it's very small and easy to use and I think it'll do fine.

Have Canon XH-A1s for everyday stuff. Use Sony DSR450WS for most professional work.

Good Afternoon,
I am a still photographer by trade, but I have dabbled with video, and what I have done has been really great, and I am not talking about birthday parties or soccer games, but daily mundane things (coffee perking for example), movement in nature, video loops. Since the tax man has been rather generous I have some money to put toward a cheap video camera (under $300), need to save the rest, I am looking at the Canon ZR960 which comes out in May I believe. I would love a HD camera, but they are out of my price range, and I like some of the features that are on the Canon ZR960. Any other thoughts or suggestions would be great.
Peace & Happiness,
Kevin

P.s I guess it is out now
