Thanks for that. Gave me a few things to consider. Best being, will produce the same results but how they get there, and frankly, Im just focused on getting there in the most inexpensive way. If they all will output to the same thing, with some being alittle more cumbersome with say requiring a software app or two, to get to their final destination, so be it. Right not budget is our main priority. so is it safe to say, that those $150 kodaks that output to hi def...would be adequate enough once we find out how to properly output it to hi def?

Me and a friend have decided the only way our shorts are going to get made is if we do them ourselves. Unfortunately, our forte is writing, not behind the camera. We wonder.... Is every hi-definition camera pretty much the same? As in, are those kodak handheld camcorders able to shoot well enough to get to hi defintion on say a youtube series? Is high definition the same, is my question? I see a few for $200, and I wonder if its just all the bells and whistle extras that make a $3000 zooming camera much better performer than that $200 hi definition Kodak. Can someone shed some light on this for us. And, possibly recommend a inexpensive camera to us. We will shoot all genres, first will not have too much action as its a teen comedy. Down the road we have a college boxing short, and a hitman video game sketch we want to post on youtube. So if you could keep in mind those future projects in your recommendation, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you for any responses
