I just ordered a Panasonic PV-GS50S Mini-DV yesterday from Abe's of Maine for $408.

I believe that it is similar to your model in most respects. Smaller camcorder than most, and its one weakness is in low light situations, but that can be overcome by manual adjustments. For my purposes and that price, I thought it was a great deal. Best Buy is selling it right now for $550.

I subscribe to Consumer Reports and it was one of the better models. Sony and Panasonic have the best repair history records, but reviews that I read on Cnet and epinions suggested that Sony's customer service sucks balls. Bought it with my AMEX and it doubled the length of the manufacturer's warranty.

Good luck

I have a Sony TRV-22 which you can still get. The whole TRV line (19, 22, 33) are on the cheap right now since the newest line (DCR-HCx) came out. I would consider the TRVs sine they are very good.

I did a lot of research, and I decided that Sony was the best. I had considered Canons since they have the best optical zooms among MiniDV camcorders. But I read that they don't perform that well in low light (indoors).

I also saw less complaining with the Sonys about motor noise showing up on the tape.

Most reviewers say the canons aren't that spectacular in low light conditions, and the image stabilizers aren't quite as good as Sony.

It sounds like someone is planning a sex tape.

I have a Sony TRV-22 which you can still get. The whole TRV line (19, 22, 33) are on the cheap right now since the newest line (DCR-HCx) came out. I would consider the TRVs sine they are very good.

I did a lot of research, and I decided that Sony was the best. I had considered Canons since they have the best optical zooms among MiniDV camcorders. But I read that they don't perform that well in low light (indoors).

I also saw less complaining with the Sonys about motor noise showing up on the tape.

If you'll want to convert old tapes (analog) to digital, get a camera that does it. (the TRV-22 does it -- the 19 doesn't).

phantom, what would you consider a good price for the line you mentioned?
