Hey guys, I've got a baby on the way and about $450 to spend at Best Buy on a camcorder. Who makes the best brand for camcorders: Sony, Cannon, JVC, Samsung or Panasonic? I just looked on www.bestbuy.com and it looks like they've got new models out. Possible contenders are the Sony DCR-HC36, Cannon ZR600 and Panasonic PV-GS39. BTW, from what I've read, I believe Mini-DV is still the way to go until the hard drive versions become more popular. Correct me if I'm wrong. And, like I said... this is for baby stuff... I'm not doing anything professional or anything like that.
