Re: Better videos.

Trey,

[Trey Isbell] "I have seen a few panasonic videocams on ebay that are 3ccd for about 500 dollars but I dont know how good they are."

Panasonic is/was the only major manufacturer to make really low cost ($600-1200) 3 chip DV camcorders. They are based on 1/6 and 1/4" CCD chips and for what they are they are pretty good. Not so good for low available light situations but quite OK when the light is high as in most of the outdoor situations that you anticipate using the camcorder. They aren't going to perform up to the degree of $2.5-5k 3 chip units, but in the outdoor situations you want to capture, not too far off the mark.

Be certain to budget for a good polarizing filter for whatever camcorder you get. It's essential anytime your background is the sky. Perhaps another $100 for a good one. And make sure whatever camcorder you get allows you to control the exposture manually.
