I know nothing about video cameras, but my boyfriend has an ancient Sony Handycam, and I want to get him something more modern and more appropriate for a Film %26amp; Video Student. I am also a student so price is somewhat of an issue.|||We have had many students asking the same question over the months, Its very hard to say get this type/model of camera, Probably the best idea is to contact the college and talk to the media teacher, he/she will be able to give you an idea what would be the best type, and best for compatibility with their equipment. Ease of getting the video from the camera to the computer to edit it, or just view it. so a comera that the video needs to be converted may not be a good idea.
A budget would have been nice, maybe consider second hand, there are a number of companies that offer reconditioned semi professional camcorders, (that would give him a good start) Maybe something like a Canon XL1s (not the newest kid on the block) but will still give most hard drive and media card camcorders a good run, not only for the quality of the images but the features of the camera,
Because its a mini-dv (tape) then there is almost zero problems with connecting it to any college media computer.
Agian first port of call is the college and talk to them.
Good luck
