Will a camcorder suffice for beginning filmmakers on a budget?

i've been interested in filmmaking for awhile, but i have basically no money. i do have a jvc everio GZ-E200BU. will this camera do for now?
 
I googled it and expected to see a VHS lol.

Little HD memory card cam, perfect for today's learner.

If you want to paint you pick up a paint brush. Look into quality brushes as you hone your craft, and find that you need them. You may even tire of filmmaking, who knows? Use it, experiment, and have fun.
 
Can you use it to learn to tell stories visually? Yes! The more you use it and learn, the more you'll learn what you want from a camera and can start looking into an upgrade path. You'll know when it no longer is sufficient. Right now, just focus on the art form: the juxtaposition of images to tell a story. Have fun!
