Lately I've been checking out camcorders and I noticed that JVC has two models that come with 20 or 30 gb hard drives. This impresses me greatly.
There is some new Sony handheld that will film in HD I think, but those little 8cm discs are never great for me. I tried one in my powerbook and it damn near got stuck.
I'd love to have something that is small and also HD, price point is not an issue until I start really shopping.
Here is the one I am talking about from CompUSA
The other thing is that I don't know anything about the models and I wondered, do all of them shoot widescreen, or should I stick to the ones that actually say "Canon ... widescreen."
Here are my preferences:
I fell in love with the idea of the HDD, so I'm stuck on that.
HD or close to it.
Small...like palm small.
Decent optical zoom.
I think I am really looking at around $600, but we'll see what kind of camera one can get for that price.
Any suggestions?
