I'm trying to decide between this camera and this one Bell and Howell DNV16HDZ-BL1080p HD Infrared 16MP Night Vision Camcorder any thoughts?

I use mine for paranormal investigations and this is the only one that offered the full spectrum for anything close to this price. I also did a lot of research before buying and I am extremely glad I found this one.

I go the one from Cleveland paranormal just for the full spectrum capability(IR and Ultra violet)...It works very well. my only complaint with any of these different camcorders is the light on the camera. You'll have to get a light bar and get a secondary IR light to light up the place. Bell and Howell is a better name then the one from Cleveland, but they both work about the same, but you must care for them well.

I cant speak for the other camera but I love this one. For the price it is amazing. Only shoots about 10 to 15 feet clearly with just the IR so added an IR light to it. Picture is awesome and you can take stills without interrupting you video. Also has a full spectrum feature. Note that this camera however is really small. It fits into the palm of my hand. Was delivered ahead of time as well

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

Check Bedford camera, I already got mine from there last week. The camera is solid.

Look at YouTube has a very detailed video. I had to watch it a few times. The covert code black is an easier and better cam for the money.

I can't wait for a reviewer to get their hands on the HS20. Sounds great on paper.HS20 reportedly has Bigger CMOS sensor and faster circuits (along with a few other fixes, plus remote shutter release capable, more frames per second, SDXC, and includes a proper bayonet mounted hood).HS10 at under $400 sounded too good to be true, this sounds more like it, how it is worth the extra dough.DP Review reports the basics (propaganda):http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11010513fujifilmhs20exr.asp

Can you explain the difference in the following 3 Panasonic Camcorders:HDC-TM90KHDC-TM700HDC-HS700I REALLY need to buy a good camcorder (under about $700) to take video of my son's lacrosse games for college recruiters. THANK YOU!!

Bell and Howell would suggest their spare battery, which is actually not a bad price at $20.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/Bell & Howell - Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack for DNV16HDZ Camcorder (3.7V, 1700mAh)But unless you need it for a second camera or to replace a truly damaged battery, I would suggest a external charger instead. You can charge it up and connect it to the camera and it should allow the camera to act as if its plugged in directly.

Check out the review at camcorder info dot com.It beat out all others in its price class that it was compared to in the review, (panasonic, jvc, sony).However for $400 more (double the price) the canon HV-40, for instance is really outstanding, and for $650 there are a couple better choices.

I have the same problem in my neighborhood. I actually work in law enforcement and review different types of video surveillance frequently. This camera really compares to some of the better video equipment I've seen. Also, I live in Alaska and it's very dark here in the winter. I've found that this camera has a great deal of clarity, even in pitch black, and seems to do fine in arctic temperatures. From 35 feet, I can clearly pick up vehicle and physical body description, and by zooming in while I'm reviewing I can read a license plate.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

The night vision is very good. As far as the playback, I haven't tried that yet. We had to send back the original DVR because one of the channels didn't work. We just got the new one back. Hope that helps!

Personally, I did a lot of research before I bought the HG21 myself, and it seemed the best in the price range. I will mention though that I only looked at Canons (since I'm used to their system interface), so I'm not sure if there are other similar camcorders in other brands. Also, it didn't seem the Digic III was a huge change over the Digic II. The only extra feature Digic III really seems to offer is the face-detection, however that wasn't a huge selling point for me. For me, a better sensor mattered more, as it means better video quality.

I've found the WASCAM to be quite reliable. I actually bought 3 , the night vision didn't work on one so I returned it but since then I've had no issues.

I think the night vision is great. I've never owned another brand of camera moniter, but I love this one. I have had no problems and I'm really happy with this brand.

I initially purchased the SG580 and put it to the test. I ended up returning it and bought the HCO Uway GSM Wireless Scouting Camera,USM652. This is a good camera and I am very satisfied. This a good sight for doing your research. http://www.trailcampro.com/uwaytrailcameras.aspx
