Well digitial is digital, and the quality of any digitial camera is so much better than VHS. But when most of the people videoing weddings are using $3000 3ccd Cannons it puts you in a " image crisis ". The down side of moving up is the cost. Once you get into the $3000 range there are a lot of choices. Here is a link to a Panasonic camera that is very good low end "pro" type camera. You can check out www.fullcompass.com or B&H photo. Should be around $1100. John
