    Looking to buy a camcorder. Just for regular use and have at max 600 euro to spend. I literally have no idea about camcorders. Could somebody please help?

    Well like I have 600 euro to spend, would that be the best I could get for this money?

    Depends on what you're looking to do with it. If its just for basic home movies etc then you may not need to spend so much. If you're interested Im selling a Canon HV20 for 525. For your price range you honestly wont get a better camera. Have a look...

    Saying that, it does really depend on your needs. The HV20 is simple to use but if you've no use for HD, variable frame rate controls, manual focusing, HDMI out, full manual exposure controls etc etc then you could probably pick up a simple point and shoot for 200 - 300.
