Panasonic AG-DVC30

Jan 10, 2006 10:48PM PST

I am almost convinced that this is the camera I need for nature expeditions BUT how much extra weight do the xlr adapter and microphone add to the package? Since I also carry Canon 20D with EFS 17 - 85, a 28-300 image stabilized, tripod and a Lumix series camera, I am fairly heavily weighted at the get go. I would really prefer a more compact camcorder, but I haven't found one to have the low light capabilities, plus audio input options, optical zoom and optical stabilizer.
I have read the reviews until I am half blind and completely confused. Can you make a simple suggestion of a light weight camera with the required features? If not, please give me the weight specs of the AG-DVC30 with the addition of the microphone.
