You can spend tens of thousands of dollars on pro camcorders. But you don’t have to spend that much to get your hands on quality equipment. There are a whole lot of pro camcorders that are not worth paying for unless you’ve got the money to pay for them.

Here are a few pro camcorders worth considering:

Canon XL-H1S 3CCD HDV High Definition Professional Camcorder: not a cheap one by any means. It comes with a 20x HD Video Zoom Lens III, perfect for taking HD videos.

Sony HVR-V1U 3-CMOS 1080i Professional HDV Camcorder: comes with a 20x Carl Zeiss Vario-Zonnar T lens with extra-low dispersion glass and 1.5x digital extender. A bit  more affordable but very powerful.

Panasonic Pro AGHMC150PJ 3CCD AVCHD 24fps Camcorder: it comes with a 13X zoom and makes it so easy to take HD videos. It’s way more affordable than the first two.

Panasonic Pro AG-DVC20 3CCD MiniDV Proline Camcorder: if you need a professional camcorder but don’t afford those expensive pro cams, this is the one for you. It’s almost as expensive as some of the regular camcorders on the market but it gets the job done.

The global recession has hit a lot of technology companies hard. We have seen companies lose all or most of their profits as the consumer gets more conservative with their spending. Sony is one of those companies. Not only people are not buying PS3 at a rate that is acceptable to Sony, the company is not exactly too many of its high-end gadgets either. Technology companies have learned from the netbook movement, however. If you have a device that is capable and cheap, people spend money on it. The netbook market is growing in these tough times, and it is expected to grow even more. Recession friendly gadgets are on the rise, and that’s what Sony will be trying to use to gain back some of those lost profits.

WSJ is now reporting that Sony will be selling cheap camcorders to target the conservative consumers. Webbie HD is one of those gadgets. It’s cheap, and it gets the job done. The economy may be showing some signs of life, but that doesn’t mean people are ready to spend money. A lot of people still don’t have jobs, and you can’t buy expensive gadgets when you don’t know whether you’ll have a job to pay for your rent. Is this a smart move? It has worked for netbook manufacturers. But the jury is still out on Sony’s latest move.

Your take: are you a fan of recession friendly gadgets?

PDW-F800 HD camcorder is the latest creation by Sony. Sony has gone deep into the HD world, and you can fault the portable cams that it has been working on either. This new camcorder supports 24P and allows users to record HD quality videos without too much fuss. You can record your videos to the 50GB hard drive that comes with your camcorder. You can also write to a single layer disc.

What is exciting about this new camcorder is the addition of overcracking and undercracking. If you are into special effects, you are going to love the addition of this feature. Standard definition recording and linear editing is a nice addition as well. Overall, this is a nice camcorder but it will cost you about $41K! Now that’s what I call affordable.
