I think this is the best you can do without going into the prosumer +$2000 level. Here is what sets it apart from the average cheap camcorder:

2. The ability to white balance. Especially with blue/green screening, this is very helpful. Good luck finding it on the average ... Read More

I used this camera for two weeks on vacation. The Hi Def Video is amazing. However, the controls on the rear of the camera are cramped and for me I would of preferred the start/stop to be switched from the Function/Menu control. Otherwise, if you like to have creative control and can live with the fact that DV tape is on it's last leg this camera is a great value for the money.

I bought this camera for filming my 1 year old boy. It is a great camera and it does a good job and is very easy to use. I don't like the amount of gain added to the video when shooting in low light.

A few tips for people looking ... Read More

I bought this item from Amazon for $686 on Oct. 30, It was delivered to me on Nov. 7th. After I rcvd the product, Amazon had already dropped the price. I was too buys to call and ask them about the price guaratntee. Apparantly there price guarantee is only for 7 days (the time it takes to receive the producct). I am very upset that the product has dropped in price by $90 in 24 days. I would not buy this product. At this rate, amazon will be giving these away for free pretty soon. It is a lousy camera.
