As an addendum to the above info.. I was just reading an article in PC-World reviewing some camcorders.. and in that one, the newest offering from SONY , the DCR-DVD403 ( http://find.pcworld.com/48163 ) actually scored very well, garnering 4.5 stars (out of 5) . The image quality appears to have been vastly improved over the previous models. Of course, it is more expensive at $US 850 (as of 5/17/05) . The new Hitachi model DZGX20A ( http://find.pcworld.com/48153 ) only managed to get 3 stars, having a price tag of US$ 750.
I think, if you get a recent model of any of the brands.. SONY, HITACHI or PANASONIC, you should be OK :)
