General discussion

Which of these three would you choose and why?

I have pretty much decided to get a Minidv camcorder with 30x optical zoom. That gives me three brand choices, Panasonic, Samsung and JVC. Looking at the most recent models for each of these brands I see little differences in the features or specifications. How would you rate these three and why?

Given so little info...

I'd get the cheapest model with the features I wanted.

Help others help you choose by tossing up 5 or less models. Supply URLs of the products too.
