This, or this?

For my baby shower, my grandma is going to buy us a camcorder! I'm pretty excited about it, because I want to be able to tape like every single thing the baby does.. so here's the thing she said " Don't skimp, get the best one" haha but lets be real, the best one would be a TON of money.. so Jarom and I went to best buy the other day and talked to their camera specialists for like 2 hours, here are the two we are debating on:



This one is an HD flash camera, which sounds super nice right? the only thing is that it doesn't have the best zoom capabilities, and the battery will need to be replaced probably every hr of footage (not replaced, recharged). It's also a little more on the expensive side which means we probably wont be able to buy another battery or case for it for a while.




This one is not an HD camera but has twice the memory storage, and zoom power. It is a flash camera which is awesome and super user friendly. It costs a little less so we will be able to get the warranty, camera case and extra battery. (for the record, the guy at best buy said this one was a better deal and a great camera overall)

So, as you can see, we aren't sure if we want to be able to see the dew drops on some grass with the HD camera, or if we want twice the memory and zoom power with the other one.. decisions decisions...

  1. Definitely the second the one. Having to recharge every hour would be extremely annoying, and HD is overrated.

  2. I thought we didnt get to comment on this thing?! Awesome!
    So I'm all for the 2nd one. Hd is fine if you are watching some hollywood production, but do u really need it for the memories? I think of the awful quality of family videos from my childhood, but they didnt affect how much i enjoyed them. definitely want the flash camera and 2 batteries. have fun choosing!

  3. The second one, definitely. And my experience says do not waste your money on getting the extra warranty. It is truly a waste of money. Get the extra battery, you'll need that for all the cute baby faces.
