Thinking of getting a new camcorder. The Cannon HF-M3xx series (M300, M30, M31, M32 or S200) and the Sony HDR-CX3xx series (CX300, CX300E, or CX350E )camcorders all get good reviews for my price range of $500. All are HD and most if not all have built in flash memory, optical stabilization and have a good low light shooting rating. Be interested in hearing what users of any of these models have to say.
