Buying a camcorder for use with PC

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Buying a camcorder for use with PC

Anything using the newer Sony-developed CCD sensors should be up to performing the tasks you'd want.

The feature sets of £300-£500 camcorders vary only slightly. Most offer at least USB connectivity and generally Firewire as well (which you should use instead of USB where possible). Image quality comes down to the sensors and optics and are really the two main considerations when buying any image capturing equipment ;)
