User Types:
Novice User
I want to record home videos such as birthday parties, baby steps, holiday gatherings, or school plays. Portability is important to me because I want to take the camcorder on family vacations. I don't want anything too fancy where it is difficult to use, but I would like the option of doing a little basic editing maybe even adding some basic effects. I'm looking for easy to use controls and easy output.

I like showing off the newest, coolest gadgets before anyone else has them. I enjoy impressing friends, family and business associates with the latest technologies and neat features as long as they are not too difficult to use. I want a slick device with the most cutting-edge features available, and I'm willing to pay for it.

I need a camcorder that can be used at the office or on the go for video taken on location. The video and sound quality must be sharp and clear because the recordings will be used for presentations and other material in meetings or conferences. I want plenty of useful features but the camcorder must be simple to use so that the employees will be able to use it.

Budget Buyer
I can't afford to spend a lot of money on a camcorder, and I don't want a model that uses expensive memory cards or special tape. I just want a basic camcorder that is easy to use. I do not need anything fancy because I do not plan on doing any special effects or lighting in my videos, I just want to keep it plain and simple.
