Best New Hd Camcorder

hd camcorder vs non hd pro camcorder?


im in to making movies now, so my sony dcrdvd 308e is in a need of change.
But because of the fact im an student im wondering if its better to buy an used video camera that’s its used, but is more “pro” at the same prize as an new HD camera (canon hv40) so my question is

CANON HV40 VS used “pro” camera non HD, which one is best to buy? (it will be used to a bit more serious movie making and documentary filming)
the reason I have pointet out those cameraes is at the fact that I need manual control.
mhm the sd camera im talking about is NOT that old, they are from 2003-2006
and all of them is 16:9

most monitors and TV screens being manufactured now are going to be in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. SD cameras may or may not have the 16:9 function, but really HD is the way to go. most new consumer HD cameras have better quality than professional cameras, though they may not last as long (decade wise) as a professional camera.

what are the best things to look for on a new camcorder?


i am looking for a new camcorder to replace my old one that can not hook up to the computer. i would like to find an hd camcorder that records to a small dvd. but what are some key things to look for?
well now after looking at some answers i figured out dvd wasn’t the wright thing for me because i am more interested in taking longer videos so no i also want to ask what is the best way to record, dvd, mini dv, internal hard drive, ext. to get the longest amount of video.

if u could list the in order and with the approximent time that would be great.
