Sub $500 HD Camcorder Picks

Rey and his Mom "are searching for a camcorder that can take HD video. We're tight on money so it has to be under $500. Any suggestions?" You're in luck! Most (if not all) of the HD pocket camcorders on the market these days are under $500. They lack many of the features you'll find in full-on camcorders, but they take great video and they're very easy to use. Find out our favorites in the video, and check out Lori Grunin's great list of HD Camcorders under $600 over at Cnet for more ideas!
