Canon 5D mark ii vs. Canon HD camcorders for HD video? Hello, let me make this quick and to the point. I have around 3k. I'm purchasing a camera and a camcorder. I am primarily a photographer, but I really would like to be able to take some stunning and high quality video. My question is....do I get a nikon D300 w/lenses for around 2300 and just pick up a normal HD camcorder for around 700.... Or do I just get the Canon EOS mark ii 5d so i can use that for both video and photography. It seems like the video abilities of the mark ii are better than those of your typical 700 dollar HD camcorders...at least from what I have seen samples wise, and on youtube HD.

Are all Canon Vixia HD camcorders compatible with Vista? ? I checked the Best Buy website for the Vixia HF10 and the HF11. When compared against each other the sheet says neither are compatible with Vista.

I want to be SURE before I buy with the 15% restocking fee they have. Anyone know?

Question about flash memory camcorders, such as Canon HF-100 or Panasonic HDC-SD7? I want to buy a good camcorder which can offer good image as well as convenience and long time stability. Lots of people recommend flash memory based camcorders. But some people also mentioned editing will be difficult for canon HF100 or Panasonic HDC-SD9. Especially, I need a powerful computer to do it, not a normal laptop. I used to edit tape based video with laptop. It is fine. Before I purchase, I just want to know why flash memory camcorder needs more powerful computer. Question 1: Is powerful computer a must for all tapeless camcorder, such as HDD, flash memory? Or it is just because high-definition tapeless camcorder needs good computer? I notice the word "AVCHD". Does the trouble come from this guy? Question 2: Does Canon HF-100 or Panasonic HDC-SD7 offer low definition option which I can edit with slower computer? thanks a lot!

Are the Canon FS series camcorders good for Youtube and artistic short film? I'm a novice filmmaker looking to start a vlog soon, but I plan to shoot outside a lot and possibly use far zooming/low light shooting. I'm looking for the best quality/resolution camcorder available within a $200-500 price range, and the Canon FS cameras seem to have it. After a few weeks of researching for a camcorder I may want for Christmas, I've settled on the FS100 for the moment: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2544&modelid=16185 Besides price, I don't see too much of a difference between it and the other two. I should mention that I've chosen a flash memory camera because I hear that both the image and sound quality is better in relation to HDD due to the compression of the files. In addition, I am told the memory sticks are extremely inexpensive and reusable nowadays. I also like this camera because of the option to add an external mic, which I think I may have a use for in noisy situations. The only drawback about the FS100 is that I hear that the provided editing software is horrible, but that's ok considering I plan to use Windows Media Maker anyway. I just have a few questions that I need answered yet: 1.) I hear the videos made are MOD files, so can they be converted into a high quality format to use on Youtube? 2.) I have considered shooting in sephia or blue surreal coloration. Does this camcorder have any of those options? 3.) And by far my biggest concern: How easy would it be to upload my videos to Youtube using this camcorder? Is flash memory the best way to go in terms of getting the highest possible quality on Youtube?

How bad is the sound of the mechanism in camcorders? I have read on many customer review sites that many camcorders have a hissing sound when playing back the video.

I am traveling to italy, and i also want this camera for family occassions..will this sound be noticeable and annoying or will it be unheard do to outdoor noises, and talking?....i am not planning to film anything that silent but if i do will the noise take over and make the video hard to watch???plz help thx... srry i am the writer of this question i am referring to the canon elura 100...not the canon elura 1000 as i said in the question originally...srry for the typeo and any confusion i might have caused

HD camcorders- which are better, Sony or Canon? Specifically, the camcorders in the $700- $1000 range. I'm a little confused about the whole AVCHD thing and the pros/ cons of either brand, especially when it comes to transferring the video from the camcorder to a DVD. I do not have a blueray recorder, so I would need to get an AVCHD burner and player separately. that hardly counts as an answer.
Which brand of camcorders is better in general; Canon or JVC? I may start vlogging soon and I need to buy a camcorder. I've narrowed it down to the canon fs200 and jvc everio GZ-MG330.

And my video editing software is windows movie maker, and I heard that the everio is difficult to use with that. Which one is a better choice? price is not a concern btw.

Canon Vixia camcorders? Is there any rhyme or reason behind the letters/numbers that are used to identify the canon vixia camcorders? I see HF and S and R's, and there are probably other. I am looking for a new camcorder, HD with flash memory, some internal would be nice, but not necessary. I looked at cnet and canons get good ratings overall and I tend to be brand specific, canon for my point and shoots, nikon for slr, and possible canon for camcorders, if I can decipher the meanings of their names/identifiers. Thank you for any help.
Do the Canon SLRs provide better HD movie recording than the Canon Vixia HD camcorders? I'm having a toss-up between the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon Vixia HV40, or the Canon XL-2. I am aware that the XL-2 only offers standard definition recording, and that I'm mixing a cropped sensor, a full-frame sensor, a 1/2 inch sensor, and 3 1/3 inch sensors. My problem is this: I want to get into cinematography as well as photography, but I have a limited budget. I am a stickler for quality, so they have to perform well to meet my expectations...But that's just me. :) Any help would be great, as this is something I cannot really figure out. :/ I guess the answer may be obvious, but I can't decide. THAT'S MY PROBLEM!!!!! :P

PLZ answer my question
Best Canon Camcorders out there? I wanted to know if anyone knew a very small but nice, professional Canon Camcorder. [doesn't have to be Canon. Maybe Sony? ] something like this but more compact maybe....and cheaper haha : http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/professional_camcorders/xh_g1s I don't like those tiny one's that family uses just on trips and stuff. like this: http://us.camcorderprices.net/retailer/Canon-FS300-Blue-Flash-Memory-Camcorder.html?pid=73070290
