Which Handycam model is best?
The range of Handycams is quite wide, varying in specification from country to country. I cannot recommend any specific models, but I have seen nothing to suggest that any model performs any better than any other. The only exception to this is the models that permit low shutter speed in NightShot mode. These cameras can often film infrared x-ray in lower light situations than other models. Obviously, if the particular model you are considering is not equipped with NightShot then it will be of no use. Check out Sony’s web site at www.sony.com for a list of current models and specifications. One thing I would recommend is buying a model with SteadyShot. This makes filming from a distance so much easier. The type of filming you are going to be doing will doubtlessly involve many zoom shots at around the fullest extent of the cameras capability.
