camcorders

[realspeed]

posted on here away from main camera topics if that is ok.
I have been reading on other photographic forums about their members wanting a cheap camcorder for various reasons., Such as to video amature theatre groups and pub bands etc. The next thing is they expect" a cheap camcorder to output sound and video wirelessly to remote receivers- be able to record in dim lighting conditions - operate remotely- run continuously without overheating etc etc
I can understand the cheap part but not what is expected from them. the camcorders are cheap for a reason ,they don't have all the features. like anything if they want then they have to pay the price.

It is like those on the free stuff wanted / available sites with asking if anyone has a decent lawnmower they don't want and can they drop it off for them? Some people just extract the urine.

Or friends asking if they can borrow your camcorder for their holidays as yours is a good one and they can only afford a cheap one.
