Eric E. Dolecki is in a similar boat as me… i bookmarked this post of him asking for camcorder advice and suggestions. Already a few nice comments… plan on bookmarking more on HD camcorders (midrange or a little less - don’t need a monster) this year. Stumbled on this post and thought it was a good first bookmark. Also stumbled on the Macworld article of new camcorders at this year’s CES.
