[bk12321]

im goin to college this fall and i wanna be able to record some fun

im looking for a decent digital camcorder somewhere between $200-$400.

I just want something that will perform well in day and night, with possibly image stabilization and something that is just all around a good camcorder. any recommendations??? thanks in advance

The Sony DCR-HC36 is a very nice small camera to carry around. It uses MiniDV tapes and has firewire out so you can easily get the video into your computer.

Sony makes some very nice camcorders. For college and carrying around a small camera is super nice. You might even consider getting the next model down so you would have money for a few accessories like a tripod.
