Looking to buy a mid-level HD Camcorder (under $500). Any suggestions?

 

Here are the ones I have looked at thus far, anyone have any of these (or another) with feedback to offer?

 

-Samsung HMX H200

-Canon VIXIA HF R10

-Panasonic HDC TM55 and SD60

I have a Sony CX100. It works good, but I'm no expert in video and I bet if I had any clue what I were doing it would be even better.

 

Hehe so I guess it takes HD video of my daughter which is why it was bought. We still don't use it that much because I prefer my still pictures.

I have this one sony hdr-xr200v. I bought mine from a friend back in January for super cheap. When I looked at them in Jan, they were still 899.00. I found some on the internest for 525.00. Some places are still selling it for around 750-790.00. This thing is awsome and it pretty small and light.

I had a $300 gift card to Crutchfield, I ended up buying the Canon HF R100. I figured internal memory was a waste (R10 has internal i guess). I am really glad with my purchase so far. Seems to be a great camera.
