bwaldrep 0 Posted November 20, 2009 If you are planning on buying anything in the next week, look at Black Friday deals. I bought our HD canon HF10 camcorder last year from Best Buy on Black Friday, and got a real good deal, so look at ads that are already online for those deals.Looking at the 3 you listed, the first one (Canon) is a flash based, where as the other 2 are Hard drive based.What I did, when I was shopping was figure out the media (Tape, Flash, Hard drive, etc) I wanted, and then focused on the different models using that media.There is always a good debate on tape verse digital (Flash or Hard drive), and in the end you need to choose. There are pros, and cons to both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iresq 14 Posted November 20, 2009 Windows Movie Maker does not support AVCDH. You will need an editor that supports it or, in the alternative, software that will convert to mpeg.To anyone interested in upgrading to HD video, be advised that you need a computer with a fair amount of horsepower if you plan on editing.
