looking for a camera?

Recommended Brands: Cannon, Panasonic, Sony
Recommended Online stores: B&H

Key ideas: You want a camera that uses MiniDV (other types can be highly problematic), and Tape Format should be DV. Think about the lens (Carl Zeiss is a good lens) and research the sensors (3 CCD highest quality)

What camcorder is right for you at CNET

A narrowed down search of MiniDV Camera reviews

Panasonic PV-GS320 3 CCD
I've never used this camera, but looking through the cameras on the market right now, I think I'd recommend this cammera to the class. (no manual focus ring?)



Mid Range:

Canon GL2








Upper Range

Canon XH-A! HD
