Super Sharp Shooters; New sensor technology, touchscreen LCDs and Full HD recording hi-def moviemaking is at your fingertips now. Here are the 6 best HD camcorders you can find:-

Budget HD Camcorders

Creative Vado HD (www.creative.com):-

HD video for cheap is the credo of this ultra-compact, featherwaight camcorder, and like the Camileo above it includes software for direct uploads to YouTube. It may not be able to compete with its bigger, more powerful rivals on quality, but it’s 1280×720, 30 fps HD resolution is a credible effort at this price, and the 8GB flash memory allows for up to two hours of recording in it’s “HD+” mode. You woudn’t expect perfect pictures from such a pocketable recorder, and you won’t get them. There’s a lot of noise and a washedout look to the footage, while the lack of controls means it’s virtually  impossible to made improvements. Still, its slim lines and clever fold-out USB connection make it suitable for quick shooting and easy sharing

Details:- Recording: 720p, 30fps, Screen: 2inch LCD, Storage: 8GB internal, Sensor: 1MP CMOS, Size: 55×100x16mm, 100g, Price: $129

Toshiba Camileo H20 (www.toshiba-multimedia.com):-

Obvious choices for the cash-strapped, casual moviemaker would be the Creative Vado HD, Flip Mino HD or Kodak Zi6. However, if shooting on something that looks like a phone doesn’t do it for you, Toshiba’s Camileo range offers a more grown-up feel for the same sort of money. This budget concious SD-card camcorder has the largest LCD at 3 inch, and a 5MP CMOS sensor for 1440×1080 resolution images. That’s not bad for its price. Unfortunately, the casing feel durable and multifunction controls are fussy for a camera that should be simple to use. The feature list is short, although there are exposure and white balance settings and a three-mode flash to help out with stills. Movies exceed expectations for the price and while there are problems with auto focusing and in low light, in bright conditions it impresses with fine detail and strong colours. Continue reading…
