[Emilio]

How will I know that the camcorder is the right one for me in which I am assured that the quality is good? What are the things that I should consider before purchasing one.

Somehow it would depend on your purpose of buying the device. You sure have something in mind on how your camcorder would be right? Well, if you are to buy a camcorder for the first time, then, maybe I can give you some idea on what to look into before you buy them.

1. zoom lens size, you can research the web on whats the ideal zoom size depends on to where and to what you will use the camcorder for.
2. night vision shooting, i guess this one is self explanatory
3. image stabilization, to keep your pictures still in shaky circumstances
4. automatic exposure modes, it gives you an option to choose the right mode for good shooting
5. built-in editing, like dubbing, audio and fading
6. bright light suitability, not all camcorders performs well in bright sunlight
7. wide angle shooting, wide angle pictures are good
8. zoom quality, magnifying the pixels while retaining the image quality

if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
