Go on craigslist and buy a used Canon point-and-shoot for $20.

Point and shoot cameras record video and everything these days.

I use my IPhone to take videos. It fits my needs. I think it kind of depends on how serious you are about videos. A smart phone may not work for you, but it works for me. 📱

You realize a new iPhone 7+ will do 4K images? I got rid of my cameras years ago because the last several generation of iPhones took better pictures than even my very expensive cameras. Just upgrade your phone if you don’t already have one.

If you’re just wanting to catch memories, than even basic cameras can do a pretty good job these days. If you want pro-quality, expect to pay at least $1200, even if it’s pro-quality for personal use.

I think EPU is giving you good advise. Start cheap with all of the basic functions. See how you use it. Are you passionate? Is it a weekend hobby? Do you not use it as much as you thought after a while?

I do digital 35mm, but I think the principle of buying equipment is the same. I started cheap 15 years ago. I waited until I felt the camera didn't satisfy me and then upgraded. Probably did that 5 times and each camera was better than the last. I'm currently at the Pentax level.

Last thing: don't buy until you know the terminology.

Scratch the Kingear off the list. Given the specs, it isn’t compatible with older US TVs and equipment.

1080 beats 720 on quality, but 4k may be more than you need.

I would want a zoom feature.

The first camcorder I bought forty years ago cost $900, shot 480x480 resolution and had to have it’s white balance adjusted every time you turned it on - then there was another $900 for the unit which actually held the VHS recorder, which you had to carry around with you on a strap thrown over your shoulder and had a 1 hour battery life - at an average of about $55 per each, your possibilities all sound good to me......
