What is the Best Camcorder for Taking Photos and Videos?

In summary, when looking for a camcorder, it is important to consider video quality, zoom, image stabilization, battery life, and storage capacity. It is also a personal preference whether to choose a camcorder with built-in storage or one that uses memory cards. Additional accessories such as tripods, extra batteries, external microphones, and lens filters may be helpful depending on your videography needs. To determine if a camcorder is user-friendly, look for simple menus, easy-to-use controls, and comfortable grip. The price range for a quality camcorder can vary from $200 to $1000 or more, so it is important to research and compare prices to find the best deal for your budget.

Can tell me what camcorder that you have great success with?

I am also pondering these questions:

Is a removable hard disk better or more cost effective than a memory card?
Is Recording in dvd format or HI-8 better or more cost effective?
Is a battery good or "is there something better" to make it work?

One thing I WANT this to have is the ability to take pictures after you have done the video.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!!
 
I always go to www.cnet.com when I am thinking of making an electronics purchase. They have great reviews and info.
