Hi all,
I want to get into making short abstract films/montages to go along with my music, so I want to buy a cheap (around £150) camcorder to start recording footage.
I don't need anything fancy as it's mostly going on the web anyway, but I'm a bit bewildered about the choice available, all the different formats etc.
The MOST important thing is that it must be really easy to get the video off the camcorder and into the PC, so USB would be a must I think (no firewire card).
Any help/recommendations would be much appreciated! Also, any recommendations for free video editing software would be splendid. Thanks!
