Hey Guys;

Well; I'm not totally decided yet; but I think I'm gonna get a camcorder soon....[maybe]

...so I want some suggestions because I looked all over cnet; but I'm not necessarily the type of person that likes to live by those reviews; so here's my situation below:

1. My budget is in the 200-400 dollar range [NO HIGHER than 400 please!!]

2. Along w/ an internal mic; The cam needs to also have an external mic input; because I'll mainly be doing videos of me playing guitar.......and the rest will prolly be of just the family @ home and general use....nothing too special....

3. I'd also like it to have A/V inputs so I can hook up my VCR to the camcorder;)

4. I defenitely want it to use MiniDV tapes--any mini dvd/mem card/compact flash style cameras will NOT Do!!! I relly want this to be a MiniDV!

5. If there's any important features that I should be looking for when 'shopping around'; let me know so I don't get screwed by some sales guy and end up w/ a pos camera;)lol:)

Thank You; and I hope this gives you a guideline and it's not Too much of a 'want' list...lol

Thx again AD;

P.S. Oh yea; the reason why I'm on such a tight budget is 'cause I'm still a young kid and don't want to blow all my money on just a camcorder......
