Good Beginner Digital Camcorder?

[mjs1217]

I'm thinking about getting a digital camcorder, but I'm a REAL begginer at this (never owned/even used one before). So, I was wondering if any of you can reccamend a nice, compact, easy-to-use digital camcorder? I'm not sure of my budget right now, but let's say it's $350 (and the cheaper the better).


Thanks,
-mjs

I don't think there will be a "beginner" camcorder.In that price range there all going to be pretty simple to operate,I wouldn't worry about that.

Find a few in your price range FYI,I really like to see these type of things in person,and then do a search on the model numbers you find.There are always tons of reviews on the net.After that,shop around for the best price at a reliable and reputable retailler.

Just my advice.

I usually start here,but keep in mind model numbers often change pretty fast,but at least you'll get the jist.
