I bought this camcorder after looking for one for over a year. It was just over $800 USD and was the current model.

I've been an avid videographer since the birth of my daughter back in July of 2000. Since that time, I was making exceptional use of my Panasonic PV-DV200 Mini DV Digital Palm Corder and I couldn't be happier with it (see my earlier review). But...

WHY I PURCHASED - I bought this camcorder as my first for recording my son growing up. I was talked in to buying this one over the Sony I had originally meant to purchase on the point that I would get the same features for less money. It turned out the...
