My First DV (or camcorder of any type)
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Optical stabilization, fast zoom, fine DV images with good sharpness and color balance. Firewire.
Cons: Poorly designed, easily turned on power switch. Pathetic still images.
Bottom Line:
The only affordable optically stabilized DV with the form factor I prefer for UW housings

I paid $1135 for mine at B&H. Worth every penny of it!
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Performs like a prosumer cam should. Feels good to the hand, steady shooting.
Cons: The on-board nightlight is an asinine feature.
Bottom Line:
Good bang for the buck. It's not often I buy something the equals the hype.

Great dual-purpose camera
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Ease of use, good photos, great video, nice lens and accessories, Canon optics.
Cons: Switching between memory card and tape (awkward), eject interferes with quick-release plates.
Bottom Line:
A great buy. You can get a 1000 bells and whistles on a camcorder for much less, but in the end - software can't make up for lousy optics.
