[396222687862]

Are there any decent video cameras under $500, im real small on cash but i really want a video camera for this upcoming winter. Whats some good deals?

 

[396222687862]

i was looking at some cameras, and i found the panasonic PV-GS300, its a 3.1 mega pixel 3cc camera. $400. how is this camera?

i dont know which exact camera youre talking about but the low end 3 chip pannies ive used i wasnt hugely impressed with. the canon optura 10 and 20 are great 1 chip cameras for cheap

opturas are supposed to be solid. i have a canon zr600 and its nice nothing special but its my first camera and its pretty solid

 

[396222687862]

ah i was looking at the zr600, seems nice for the price, haha rhyme, also looking at optura/eluras

 

[Geoff.]

is this gonna be your first camera?

the gs-300 is great and all, but if you can afford it, get the gs500.

bump, i'm really looking into the GS150 or 180, i dont have that much money, so im going for the gs180, for $430. Anyone have any other suggestions?

that's what I got! Seriously the GS-180 is a really good camera for the price, it films awesome.
