Hello this is my first post so to introduce myself I am a newbie to video. I have a little experience with still photography only on a hobby basis though. I have been looking into getting my first digital camcorder and I need some help.
I have to admit the more I research them the more I get confused. I like the Cannons based on what I have read so far. I would be shooting video mostly for family events and vacations but would also like to do some youtube how-to videos (I have a lot of hobbies), I also like to photograph wildlife but not a priority.
My starting out budget is $500.00. I was wondering opinions on getting something like a New Cannon vixia R400 or a used Canon Vixia HV40 HD Camcorder. Or any other suggestions would be appreciated. Should I stick with new or look at a little higher end used cameras?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
