camcorder
anybody have a recommendation for a digital camcorder? I don't want HD, and it appears that the flash memory is the best storage solution. Anyone love theirs and want to recommend it?

I detest mine. Video quality is horrible. Three years old, though. I would not buy another Samsung.

Won't your digital camera take video? If you don't care about HD (and presumably image quality), then why not just use a digital camera? My 5 year old digital camera takes pretty good video. Only problem is it won't zoom during recording.

My camera is getting old - it's like 6 megapixels. And it takes really, really crappy video. I was hoping to get a camcorder and use it as a camera, too, upgrading both once. For Father's Day.

It's funny how these electronics gadgets cross over into each other's domain.
I take pictures with my phone now more than my camera. And videos with my camera more than my old camcorder. |

You must have an outstanding phone. Mine only records video for about 20 seconds at a time.

Sanyo FH1
I love my FH-1, but it's HD (actually a step up - 1080p60 - which is why I got it.) It can do standard-def, but its automatics suck, so you need to plan ahead and pre-set the camera to get a good shot. It also has awesome low-light performance.
I can suggest two things though: You need to decide whether you want good stills or good movies. The FH-1 takes good stills, but they're *always* a little noisy, and my old 4 MP camera does much better. Still cams take very good movies, but never have quite the power and flexibility of a dedicated movie cam. So buy the camera that's the best at the one thing you want, and as good at the other as you can afford. The other suggestion is to make sure it has threads for add-on lenses. You might never buy one, but it's nice to have that option if you need it. I got a "non-distorting" wide-angle for the FH-1 since the camera, when zoomed out, is still a little too zoomed in.
