Digital videocam?

Anyone have good recomendations on these? I’m not ready for HD, it would be cool to have HD video of me and my family but it looks like it’s a $500 difference.

I’m leaning towards a Sony just because I bought the PSP and it would be cool to take family videos around with me and be able to only have to buy one type of memory stick but I’m totally open to other brands.

Anyone know of any super great deals or sites that tend to have super great deals? What kind of features should I be looking for? I’m still in the Hi-8 age.

How much are you willing to spend?

yeah HDV is good but is 400 lines less than true HD. No big deal for most human eyes.Hell, most local news this is what they are running for HD.

I recently got a Canon HV20. It’s been pretty fantastic so far. It records to tape, but that’s what I wanted. Much easier to keep an archive that way.
