To capture HD videos is the standard today, so what are you waiting for. Most of the camcorders price range between $600 to $1000 and up. These camcorders have all great quality and the big advantage is that they are already in digital domain. All the camcorders are easy it use, very user friendly. The overall zoom standard is 10x and 12x, there is camcorders with a higher zoom capability. The disadvantage with a camcorder zoom bigger than 12 xs is the video is vibrating; the human hand is not steady enough to keep the camcorder still so you will need a tripod. Some of the cameras come out with a stabilizer unit build in which helps.
