I have the Canon Vixia HF G10.

 

I am very satisfied with it.  I can adjust the exposure so it does not saturate any part of my lights, and set the focus to manual so it does not drift.

 

You can actually see the video in the middle of wreath if you watch the video full screen and in full HD.

I use the flip HD slide.....

Ive tried several other cameras in the last few years but always resort back to the flip HD slide.

 

Having good video editing software makes a big difference as well to align the audio, sharpen picture, black out street lights, darken really bright parts, or change camera angles when cars drive by etc. I use adobe premiere pro but there are several great choices out there.

That is excellent video!!  I saw where you can get that camera used  or refurbished for around $700.00.  Thanks for the post and the video!!

Panasonic HDC-TM900 (3 MOS).  Awesome, used it on the Osborne Lights at Walt Disney World.  

Hi Denny, did you do any video of your Christmas light display?

Andy, that is a very good video, excellent editing and an even better job at sequencing you songs!!!  Hard to believe that came from a Flip phone!  Thanks for that!

Thanks Ralph! Its not a flip phone but a cisco flip HD camcorder. Ive seen a couple people mention them in this thread but they hae been misunderstood each time. The flip was a line of cameras that cisco made once upon a time. They have stopped production of them but can still be found on amazon and ebay pretty cheap.

 

Here is the original website for them...........
