ALL OF THE NEWER FORMATS( DVD,HD,etc) HAVE BIG PROBLEMS!!
Check out Cannon,Panasonic, JVC and Sony MiniDV cameras in your price range. John
I am new at the camcorder thing. Which is the best, the dvd, mini dv or the one that records directly on a chip(?)? I will not be doing any major, just taping family vacations and activities. Want something small, relatively easy and in the $500-$600 price range. HELP!!!
