Ask the seller about the repair history. Be wary of a camcorder that has been returned for a recurring problem, and check to make sure that it has been refurbished or serviced properly before you buy.
Turn the camcorder on in low light and set the gain to maximum. If you see and small white or coloured rectangles, it means these are damaged pixels. Dead pixels are not too bad when towards the edge of the picture, but if they are in the centre they can prove very annoying.
Some used camcorders come with accessories, which is a great advantage as you would need to purchase them anyway.
At Cash Generator we sell used camcorders for cash. Each unit has been checked carefully, guaranteeing high quality camcorders at low prices, and with our wide selection you can easily find the camcorder you need.
