How to choose which video camera is the easiest to use and has the best tape and flash memory?

Answer by  CaptureLife (82)

First determine if you want to have HD qualit. I would strongly suggest purchasing a camera that shoots HD. Check the reviews for motor and or tape noise if you do go with a true DV tape camcorder. Also, when look into flash memory, larger is better! What size card does it read upto?

In decreasing order of importance: - preferred storage medium (removable flash-memory/NO-moving-parts) - best optical zoom lens range (largest X) - best low light sensitivity (lowest Lumens/Lux) - best resolution (greatest MegaPixels) - best warranty/customer-service - other features (like shock/water/weather-resistance, ...) - cost/price - preferred name-brands (like Sony, Panasonic, JVC, ...) Personally, we went with a Sony MemoryStick hand-held/palm-sized model.
