2. JVC Everio GZ-HM320BUS - $449.95

Do most of your recording in the evening? This camcorder offers a low-light performance, which means it's sensitive to dimmer settings. The body of the camera is fairly small and sleek, making it highly portable when traveling.

This point-and-shoot has fast autofocus speeds, good quality in bright lights, and great image sharpness that leads to clearer, more focused videos. It also has a very effective motion deblur mode and stabilization, both of which help make your footage look less rocky and shaky.

2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - $429.00

For those who like to fuss with manual settings, this camera will give you the creative control you covet. With its ultra-wide-angle lens and F2.0 aperture, you can get better focus on your subject and produce more artsy detailed shots that can make your video look that much more polished.
