Here you go– a list of the top camcorders for 2008 - at least what we recommend based on listener feedback. These selections were taken from each consumer level camcorder category. As new camcorders hit the market and we review them, we’ll be ready to update our picks.

I have recently bought an iMac and a JVC Hard Disk Camcorder (model GZ-MG135AG), When I connect the camcorder to the Mac by USB the still photos transfer ok into iPhoto but the movie files do not.

The DV Show tracked down some of the best camcorder deals for you this 2008 holiday weekend, thanks to blackfriday.info. If you’re in the market for a new camcorder, be sure to act fast. Several of these deals are only good for Black Friday weekend.
