Camcorders are now very affordable....

I wanted a camcorder badly for much of my childhood but they were expensive. Then digital camcorders came along and things started to get more in reach.

However I still had to save up quite a lot of cash for my first digital camcorder and it was rather grainy and slow to use. At 17 though I was introduced to digital movie making.

These days an amazing camcorder can be picked up at a very reasonable and for most people, affordable price. The features are awesome with great zooms, bundled editing software and more than most casual users will ever be able to use.
