I’m looking for a camcorder that doesn’t use Minidv cassettes, but I’m looking for one that has internal memory or hard drive.

Does anyone know what are best cameras and brands for camcorders, like for example i know that for Digital cameras is canon and Nikon,.

But for camcorders what are the best brands to look for and Best Models under $500
