The Bottom Line: Worth the little extra money, to get the quality and cheap enough to feel good about buy new tech when it arrives.
Review: I researched every camcorder up and down. 3-Chip,DVD,Hard drive and HDV. For the money and the current Technology, you will be hard pressed to find a better camera. 3chip is awesome unless your inside a party or other low light situations. DVD is...
