best ultra compact camcorder?

Jul 12, 2005 1:15PM PDT

I have been up in arms about what camcorder to get. I don't even really have any on a short list. I would like an ultra compact camcorder that is good in low light areas and that has a good battery life, preferrably one that lasts longer then an hour. I can't really find one on my own, so so far the only camcorder that seems to stand out to me is a DVD camcorder, the DCR-DVD7. I love the style of it, but I do want something that is compact, as I like to travel light. Thanks for any help I can get.

This post is so old so I decided that I wanted to help update it in case anyone else is looking for a great camera and can't find any. Jswalker1981 I was like you, because I had no idea what was one of the better models that were offered in the market, but after a little bit of research I've found a good review site. While there are a lot of reviews on CNET I find that they bias a lot of their review ratings because they are advertising for certain products by certain companies.

So I wanted to find the most unbiased reviews that I could. So I found http://www.wifirepeaterreviews.com which have the top brands and show you how you can actually save money rather than pay full price.

Very satisfied with my find!
