If you go to B&H and sort by price you'll see how limited the choices are today. The out of stock Panasonic is likely the best of the sub $500 group but it won't compare with the average hybrid camera .

What kind of editing are you intending to do? The files most of these cameras create aren't exactly flexible when it comes to colour grading.

Thanks.

I was using 500 dollars as a guide. I'm in Ireland so b&h is out. If models were suggested I'd look into them this side of the pond.

I just wanted to try a camcorder because I don't love shooting video on a camera.

Theres a guy local here selling a second hand one cheap at about 120 euros. I'll buy this one and I think it'll at least show me what's possible. I'll use it as a learning item and decide then the features I need or not.
