Camcorder for YouTube - HF G10?

[jamesb123]

Hey guys, I am starting a YouTube channel and I need a high quality camcorder to record my videos. I’ve done a bit of research and so far my first choice is the Canon HF G10: http://www.portagadgets.com/australia/product.php?productid=42515 But it is on the expensive side. Is the video quality on the HF G10 noticeably better than on less expensive models? I am willing to spend the extra few hundred dollars if it is, but if the difference will only be noticeable to professionals then I’d downgrade in a heartbeat. I’d to love your opinions on the matter, James Also, I will be using the camcorder to record live subjects no more than a few metres away. No long-distance shooting at all (hope this info helps).
