What do you think about it (if you have small hands like I do)? The miniDV's are lighter and fit my hand very well, but the camera I had been using for the last several years was a Sony Hi8 that seems to be built pretty much the same as TRV280, so I think I should be OK. (I don't tape for hours at a time anyways.) I'm sold on this model now, after seeing it has positive reviews the majority of the time, where as the mini DV's (in my price range) get mixed reviews. Thanks for the input!
