Camera Quick query: Best HD camera under 50K?

[Naga]

What's the best full HD capable handycam I can get my hands on in India for under 50k?

Check out one of the Sonys. I believe Sony and Panasonic are the two popular and reliable manufacturers in this product category.

No idea about the Panasonic prices though.

Hmmm questions :

You mean which one?

1080i ? Within your range.

1080p - Very very expensive, goes beyond 1lacs.

Thanks, both of you. I'll check out both the Panas and the Sonys. I'd thought of the HDR-SR10E earlier but wanted to see if there are any others in the price range.

^^ The Sony HDR-SR10E looks to be the best bet. Even though it is 40GB less on memory than the other HDD model, it makes up for it with a greater zoom, Optical Image Stabilization and a touch screen LCD panel.

@L-T - I got a 1080p Canon for 27k from Amazon - the HV30. @Naga - Tape or solid state?
