Hi folks i am after suggestions for camcorders i currently film Rugby & Motocross events for local clubs and make dvd's for shops , 1 of my Canon XM1 has died the image processor has possibly died i want something that can produce the same or better quality of video for dvd's and that has the ability to zoom to a field the next over and still maintain a decent degree of focus on fast and moving targets many thanks in advance folks 
Admin if theres a better place for this with better coverage please move it for me as i could find no where many thanks
thnx yep around the £300 to £700 range 2nd hand as they seem to lose so much from new yep Rob i looked at the Legria before anybody here do it as a semi-pro for a part time living ? if so what do you use and whats the best media storage wise DV , HDD or card formats all ive ever used is DV Tape thnx in advance folks 
the legria has 32gb of storage built into it it also takes 32gb memory card iv actually got it but shame on me hardly use it
hi mate yep just now checking Fleabay and it looks good it could be the way forward for me and perhaps i may even sell the other XM's and buy 2 as i assume i can connect ext monitors and mic's to it can you remember what the image quality is like thnx for your time i do appreciate it mate
its good tho the longest i used it was on fireworks in thailand tho with the 32gb storage they reckon you can record for 12 hours the downside the photo side not to hot
id also recomend reading some reviews on the canons on google
great stuff thnx mate , yep not worried about stills as i have a still camera for my hobby and 12 hrs is an awesome amount of time far more than i will ever use to date the most ive filled is 8hrs of tapes in 1 camera so 16hrs using both cameras but the upload to my pc is sooo slow its the same speed it takes to watch it so takes me nearly 2 days just to get all the footage on the pc ready to edit , so with the card format it would make my life alot easier which is great
iv a macbook iv found ok to that if you put 32 gb card in you can record solid 24 hrs im told but iv not done ud need the bigger battery with it to but thats standard i think
yep i use a hp tower unit wholey and soley for movie editing and a 4 disc burner so it cuts time lovely once the editing is done im working on live streaming of rugby games at our local club at the moment so this could just be the camera to do it im off to turn in mate thnx again have a good night buddy
