Photographers Use Camcorders Too

Guess what’s on my wish list now…

Today, I was out taking video of our dogs playing in the snow using my Flip HD Video Camera.  Even though it was bright outside, the video came out dark.  If you’re like me, then you love taking pictures and videos of your kids (two legs or four) and who wants a crappy video.  Now I’m considering investing in a new, affordable camcorder.  I just started my research and my budget, as always, is below $250 and I’m looking for a camcorder that is easy to use and easy to upload to my ASUS Notebook and YouTube Channel.

Last summer, I was introduced to the Sony Bloggie Duo – what was so special (to me) was that there was an LCD screen on each side so if I’m recording a video for my blog, I can see myself while doing the recording.  Then I found this cool little tripod that I could use to mount my video anywhere (inside, outside).  I loved not be confined to my webcam.

But the Bloggie Duo didn’t receive very good reviews.  But people love the Sony Bloggie Touch, so I’m considering it…

I’m also considering…

What I love about this camera is that it meets my requires, but it also comes in blue and red.  After years of black and silver electronics, I love it when a manufacturer surprises us with color…

But as you know, I’m a Sony gal, through and through, so are you really surprised to see 4 Sony camcorders on this list?
