- I request the gurus on the net to tell me which hand-held
- camcorder to buy. My budget is $700, and its mainly for indoor
- shots.
- Is 8mm tape preferred to VHS/compact-VHS? If so, why?
- Are these tapes more expensive?
- What "lux" rating is recommended for shooting in normal
- indoor lighting?
-
- I have seriously considered the Sony Handycam, but i've been told
- that its 3-lux rating is too poor. Also, is it true that its
- CCD chip represents 2-yr.-old technology?
-
- Email replies will be appreciated.
- Thanks.
