[TheForge] Video camera ?s

[mpaietta]

       Well I would say it depends on how much you want to
spend. I would stay    away from the JVC Everio. I have one
and I am not happy with it. The Everio    does not have a
good picture and the hard drive shutdown happens    easly.
If you want to spend $700 to $1000 you can get a 3CCD
camera.    Popular Mechanics has a review that review
Panasonics 3 ccd pretty high. What    ever you do take your
time to read reviews and test the recording at the store   
and play it. I wish I had done that.
   Cheers
