Newbie - Seeking info on good mini DV camcorder to buy

May 10, 2006 5:50AM PDT

I am looking for a mini DV camcorder that will shoot well in low-light, have good sound, 10X or more optical zoom, possibly 3CCD's. I will primarily be using it for shooting dance recitals in auditoriums, outdoor sporting events like soccer games and special events for my kids. I have heard that Sony, Panasonic and Canon are good but I am not exactly sure which would be the best. If anyone could help me that would be great. Oh, and I am looking in the price range of up to $1000 US dollars. Thanks!
