Handheld Camcorder Reviews

Tiger Game.com Handheld Review


Is it unheard of for an independent film to succeed if shot on a cheap handheld camcorder?

I want to do a film, he sent the script and the actors ready, but do not have $ 1500 to shell out that Sony DSR PD150, much less the typical "cheap" price of $ 5000. Maybe I can spend $ 550. How About HD cameras like this: Hopefully http://reviews.cnet.com/best-hd-camcorders/ looks good on DVD and in general an independent film? Maybe you can shoot even cheaper, like this - http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-VPC-TH1-Compact-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B001Q3M9D6 What are the main differences will be between a camera like that and a Sony DSR PD 150? Thanks for the inspiration RPattz Rob Spunk Ransom!

All possible - Check the history of "Blair Witch Project" ... its just does not happen too often. Partly because it comes with the ability to budget - and a compelling story.
