Ok, with the amount of inexpensive MiniDV cameras out there, it is so hard to know how to go!
so to start off my research, i need some help in isolating a brand, then i'll look at models.
Looking at this link (canadian prices)
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?catid=10545&mfr=&search=&logon=&langid=EN&dept=14&WLBS=fsweb19&sort=1&page=0&list=
i would be looking for a camera under the $1000 mark.
I'd prefer closer to $700, but will consider higher if the features warrant it.
As i mentioned in an earlier post, this will be mainly for family videos, but I do NOT want to sacrafice quality. That means, i know that some Canon models are terrible in low light situations but i don't know any quirks in the other brands.
Is it worh paying a bit more for a Sony? are there any good Panasonics in the mix?
Oh and from the link above, i wont limit myself to these. if you know of a model that is not listed there, please speak up. I only used that link because there are alot to see there.
Thanks for your help and i value your input!
Cheers,
