We have had several request to start making videos of our sessions. We don't have a camcorder yet. We are looking at spending less than $300. Can any one suggest a brand and model? Do they all have the same format? What program is good for editing? Thanks for any help! Kisses JB

Here's the basics.
Buy a camera that uses flash memory. Good brands are Sony, Cannon, JVC Panasonic and Samsung. You'll find prices starting at around $199 & up. Make $300 your limit or you'll be paying for features that are rarely used.
Here's a few I found online at Best Buy.
JVC GZMS110BUS - Everio 2.7" $229.95
Samsung SMX-F40BN/XAA 2.7" $199.95
Cannon FS300 2.7" $299.95
Forget digital zoom.. its crappy! Optical zoom is the only thing that counts.
Find a model that feels right in YOUR HAND. Controls vary from model to model. The model with controls that seem logical TO YOU means a lot. Flip out monitors, wide screen etc.. that's all pretty given these days.
Oh yeah... choose one that comes with a remote control. That will come in handy if you really want to zoom in on some good fucking action.
