My auntie is on a nostalgia trip & wants to get a camcorder for my uncle to 'capture precious family moments' this christmas.
She's asked for advice on buying a camcorder. I've never had to use one since getting my DSLR, are they still as shitty as they were back in 2010? Anybody have any recommendations?

I kinda doubt auntie would like to pay for an A7S, GH4 or Blackmagic and beyond, so all you get is still pretty crap.
But I'm sure recording with a Yicam, GoPro or Sony PJ530 or A6000 or whatever will work quite okay for family moments.

Sony F65. It's okay.
They're not high tech in any sense, doubt a DSLR with interchangeable lenses and settings would help them out much. Are there any good non DSLR cameras with comparable video quality?

You can pretend a FDR-AX33 or FDR-AX100 or something is just as good. But they're not really even that. And at some point they start costing about just as much.
Suggestion is still to get them a Yicam, GoPro or Sony PJ530 or A6000.

Just get them a gopro and one of the handgrips.
Like hitting my head against a brick wall knowing the money would be better spent elsewhere but they won't know how to use it.

The canon s120 is small, easy and very capable.
My father use it for video instead of his shitty Legria. ƒ1.8 at wide angle, a large screen and it's great for stills too.

why no arriflex or red dragon?

This. Give her a point and shoot instead of a camcorder. a Canon G7x is a good choice for normie video if you budget allow it.
