Hey guys,
I have been a member for Years and this forum has helped me make more infirmed electronic decisions than any other source on the web or otherwise. For that, I thank you all who continue to share vital information and to those who know from experience and more than the most of us can gather by simply reading different forums.
I am a proud father of 5 and 6 year olds. I originaly bought a canon MiniDv camcorder 5 years ago when my daughter was born, hated its low light indoor performance and returned it with in 2 weeks. Did some research and bought the entry level Sony TRV miniDv and have been happy with it, given what I invested in it and given the technology.
Although the Sony has been great, as I go through some 45+ miniDv tapes I have recorded in the last 4 years, I am "stuck" with average to down right bad home movies due to bad-low lighting.
Now that I have decided to dive into the HD camcorder market, I woudl like to make sure the camera I purchase, is at least the best low light performer in its price segment. Better and better products will continue to hit the market, all I can do is to make an informed purchase with as much information available as possible.
My budget is around $700-$800. Number 1 priority is Low light performance, with young kids and winter up ahead, most of my movies will be indoor and I woudl like for them to be as good as possible.
Please share your recommendations, personal opinions and expereinces so a fellow member can make a good and rewarding purchase.
