It really depends what you're looking for and what is important to you. Not knowing that, it's hard to advise. However, if you search for reviews for those online, hopefully you'll get an idea of their various pros and cons.

Hi. I'm also looking at the Pansonic TM700 and also the Sony XR 550V. I'm looking for a camcorder that has a good viewfinder (a must) though I might go with mini dv instead of a HDD. Also looking at the Panasonic HS 700. Thanks for any advice you might have.
