Hello everyone,

Newbie here and really enjoy BowlingBoards.com so far!!

Im an ameteur photographer and know a bit about SLRs but know nothing about camcorders.

Im very interested in taking some bowling video and am looking for a good mini camcorder without spending too much money. Maybe around $100-$300.

Ive taken some quick looks at the Flip Mino HD, the Kodak Zi6 and the Creative Vado HD on line but wanted to see what you think about the best one to get for shooting in a bowling center. I would imagine that lower light capabilities and stabilization (if not using a tripod) would be a top priority.

Im thinking for me, stabilization and clarity are probably more important than white balance and saturation because im mostly interested in being able to record technique and shots vs. worrying too much about color.

Please let me know what you would recommend as i value your input very much!

my best to all,

rick

I have a JVC Everio with 60GB HD.. It also have a memorcard slot for micro sd... I used it for all of my youtuve videos except the bowling ball spa.. That was done with a sony cybershot digital camera.
