I'm looking for a decent camcorder preferebly under $100.I would go up a little higher, but not to much. It would be my first one, and I'm not to technical and I need all the help I can get. I don't understand any of the reviews I'm reading at all! I have a 7 month old and I want to start recording all his "firsts". I don't need anything amazing. Just something good that really works. All you techies out there-can you help?

if you still want it new, try going to a clearing house like Big Lots, sometimes you can still get a good deal for electronics, like a camcorder. If you look on-line (just type clearing house into your search engine) you can probably find a good deal on something still brand new, just a couple years old.
I didn't need anything really fancy either, and I picked up a good one at a Big Lots, on the otherside of town. They just got a shipment of electronics which also included a bunch of discontinued older models of camcorders. I got a panasonic for only 75 bucks, still brand new in the original packaging. Sure it records in regular VHS, no problem my father has a DVD/VHS recorder deck, to convert all my VHS tapes. I've had the camera for four years and it still works fine.
The good thing about having an older model is that most Tech Fanatics don't want it just coz its old, most theives won't want to steal it coz at a pawn shop its practically worthless compared to all the High Tech Digital Recording Cams on the market that is in demand.
Another, idea is to just visit a pawn shop, I'm sure they have a few older VHS camcorders in used, but working conditon. Maybe you can still work out a deal with the shop owner, again coz most folks don't want an Old Camera, they want the hottest newest trendiest gadget that is all the rage for tech wannabees.
Good Luck sweetie!!!
cheers !!

This brand new camcorder is selling for only a 100.
It's not the best out there, and you could certainly buy one wth more features, but many many people have one and are very happy with it.
Read the comments on the link below to see what other people who purchased it thought of it.

check some electronic stores like sears circuit city or best buy some time they have out the box specials because you are not going to find a cam for less than a $100

Do yourself a favor and buy a better camcorder. Buy it new from a brand name store or online.You won't regret it years down the road. Your child is worth it, mine was. Good luck!
