I haven't played around with a video camera for years now and now that HD media is becoming more main stream, I wanted to see what is available as an entry level/high end pro-sumer video camera device. I was browsing around BH photo video's site and saw a quite array of $1000ish cameras with some nice features. I know video is far different than still cameras and I hardly know a lot when it comes to video, but I'm a fast learner.

I might be doing some video recording at work such as presentation dvd's, product instruction video's, recording meetings or lectures when consultants come in. I know HD would be overkill for their needs, but since entry level HD cameras aren't that expensive, might be worth it to get one and be able to show/read items on a screen or chalk board in full detail. Plus having HD would ensure that it would last some time as a capital expense.

Also got this link from another thread that's been quite helpful.

Any more links about Camcorders or tutorials would be nice. Also I've been out of the editing video loop so what are some good editing programs out there. I used to use premier but haven't used it in years and what people tell me, it's a bit antiquated now.
