Consumer DVCAM of my choice....

After doing some research...finally I realized I can get a good one in less than $1k. Possibly a HDcam too.

What I want:
  1. Good optical zoom of at least 30 times and above.
  2. On HDD or memory card
  3. Lights
  4. Long battery life
  5. Less than $0.6k.
  6. With USB adapter
  7. Recording time at least 5 hours and above
  8. Good sound quality
Optional:

1. Full HD
2. Ability to add lens
3.
Microphone input
4. Time lapse mode

Here's the candidates to win my heart:

MR. No. 1


Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 37x Optical Zoom (Garnet Wine)

Attracted me as it
has a great zoom function up to 37 times.
But only with a small light function.
Reviewed as great image quality.
Simple but affordable.

Cons: Review says that the sound quality is a little bad and wide screen doesn't show in Adobe Premiere. Works bad with Low lights

Purchase from NEWEGG

approx. USD$325.87(SGD500)

(Included in price: 2 years warranty + additional 8GB SDHC memory card)

Are you able to find a similar camera but works great with low light? If yes, appreciate if you let me know...

MR. NO 2
JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder with 2.7" Widescreen Color LCD Monitor - Silver


Zoom not as great as Canon FS100, but with a night recording technology function. At least I do not need to worry about the lights condition! 35 x optical zoom is indeed good enough already....

Approx Total = US $373.21 (SGD570)

(included in price: 8GB SDHC Memory card, 1 year warranty on parts and a camera case bag)

Purchase from BESTBUY
