I need a video camera that records great video; good enough video to pass on as a movie worth seeing, if you know what I mean. I need something like a camcorder, nothing too proffesional. And I would probably get it off of ebay. Any ideas of what kind, brand is best?I really do care about price though...If its below the price of 200$ then thats good.

The Sony HDV format is affordable Hi-Def video. You can get a camera for about $5000 or less.Sony & Panasonic are the best (maybe only) brands for this format

Depends on how much you want to spend....Canon makes excellent HD Professional quality MiniDV (GL-2 and the XL) cameras from about $2400 and up....

I use the Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder. I'm happy with it, and it captures color well with it's 3CCDs.

Unfortunately, there are very few cameras under $200 that perform fairly. How much time do you have? If I were you, I'd try to save up maybe at least $100 more dollars, or $200. That way you won't spend too much money, and can still get a fairly good camera. Since you're going to be looking on eBay, my best advice is to observe. I got my canon GL2 for $1500 off of eBay and while it wasn't the lowest price, I went on eBay everyday for about 3 weeks, and got an idea of the different prices and packages available. Then once I was ready to buy one, I knew exactly how much the price should be. With the eBay route, it is possible to find fairly decent camcorders for around $200, although you will most likely have to do some digging. If I were you, I'd try to find something from the panasonic pv-gs series. These are good cameras in general, and you might be able to find a low priced gs150 or gs65, both 3ccd cams. Hope this helps!
