Camcorder with adjustable aperture, iso and shutter controls

<p>Hi everyone,<br>

<br />I looking at doing videos for fun. Since the length will be more than 30+ minutes I can't use my DSLR because it doesn't have auto restart when file limit is reached.<br>

<br />It's very hard to find camcorders with adjustable aperture, iso, and shutter controls. The only camcorder I can find is Canon VIXIA HF G20 but it's a little out of my price range. <br>

<br />Do you know of any camcorders $200-$350 price range with full manual controls?</p>

<p>Thanks,<br>

Kathy</p>

<p>I seriously doubt, but would be happy to be proved wrong, that the video camera you want exists.

 

<p>You could look for used one (at B&H, Adorama, KEH) for Canon HF G20 (should go for G30, really), Panasonic HC-V750 or -V770 with <i>some</i> manual control over the settings.

<p>Kathy at that price you would have to consider used.</p>

<p>"Since the length will be more than 30+ minutes"<br /><br />Why would you be shooting continuously for 30 minutes? Even if you're documenting a school play, etc,, there are always natural break points where you can start and stop. In most video work, individual shots in an edited, final product seldom last more than a few seconds each, maybe a minute or two if it's a talking head.</p>

<p>Canon has the HFG20 in stock refurb for $449. So, as you say, it's only a little bit out of your range.<br>
