I have has alot of good results with Sony. I have one that lasted for years. I dropped it from my stand twice. I fell in a creek on vacation with it and let it dry out and it started working again but the lens has a halo around it when I film. I bought another one the DVD92. It is small and does it all. There are plenty of good ones out there but Sony is at the top of my list. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Welcome to the forums. Will be using a sony here this year too. Have not had our handycam for very long, but really pleased with it so far.

Someone posted about a cannon gl2 in here, might ask them how they like it.

I have run a Canon XL1 for a year now and I love it... Expensive to buy and expensive to maintain, but a awesome camera. The only thing it lacks is a LCD screen, but you can add one as an accessory. Better zoom than the Sony, and low light capabilities are acceptable, but not awesome, that is why I bought a sSony with Nightshot to use in the wee hours.
