Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
I'm a college student in my fifth year. Impending student loans along with the car payments and rent... HDTV is not in my future unless they drop under $300... which we all know isn't coming anytime soon.
why is it that the average college student always complains about money? my 3 siblings all had the same problem, yes I was able to easily pay my way through college and buy a tv over $3000, all on a minimum wage salary. I guess I just know the value of a dollar, and dont buy random crap like the average person.
I'm glad you can make a complete assessment of my financial situation from this one blog comment.
In case you didn't notice, or don't really read a newspaper, higher education costs are through the roof. With books easily running me about $700 a semester, tuition somewhere between $7-10,000 depending on credits, cheapest rent in town at $399 a month, not to mention I like to feed myself twice a day, it takes damn near a low-level full time job just to pay for school, let alone the time I actually have to dedicate to school.
I know the value of a dollar, and it doesn't involve taking out student loans at prime plus 4%. I'd rather spend it on my education and hey, maybe take my girlfriend out to dinner once in a while, than blow it on an HDTV. Kindly take your opinion of my financial situation and shove it.
Big John - that's no excuse. Even homeless people should be able to manage money enough to buy themselves a giant, 60', HDTV (preferably 2160P120), together with a Blu-ray jukebox and subscription to a fiber-optic HD feed.
Remember folks, we EngadgetHD readers live in the real world, where people have no problems spending $1,000 on a TV, $400 on a next generation DVD player, and $600 on a fancy set of speakers and receiver set-up. ;-)
