Best HD camcorder with high megapixels, optical zoom, and HD quality under $1000?
I am helping my mom find a good HD camcorder that has good video and still quality (like 1080p with 60 fps and 12-14 mega-pixel stills), but we are looking for one under $1000. It should be a good quality camera that is also easy to take on vacation and different trips. Not a huge one, but not a baby Flip cam or something. Any suggestions will be helpful!

The best HD cameras under $1000 would be the Canon VIXIA HF series cameras.
There is the HF S20: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322OP3Q?ie=UTF... and the HF S200: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322OOXM?ie=UTF...
There is also an HF S21 model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322OP40?ie=UTF... , but it is much more expensive than the HF S200 and the HF S20. They are all top of the line Canon models. The only difference between the above models is the storage capacity. The HF S200 requires you to buy removable SD cards for storage (i.e. no internal storage). The next model up is the HFS20 which has 32 GB internal flash memory (12 hours of recording) and two additional SD slots! The HF S21 has 64 GB of storage (24 hours of recording). They both record to flash memory rather than the fragile hard drive based camcorders.
You are not going to find a better camcorder at this price, so I would choose HF20: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322OP3Q?ie=UTF... because of the internal flash drive. Btw, Amazon is having a 25% off sale on the HF 200 and the HF20 this week, so check that out.
