Here are some quick tips when buying Camcorders:
- 3 CCDs create higher quality images than 1 CCD sensors and are found in most prosumer camcorders.
- CMOS sensors are showing up in more high end camcorders.
- Digital image stabilization uses mechanical components to take the "shake" out of closeup shots.
- A larger LCD display makes it easier to compose a shot and see in bright sunlight.

$370.60- $370.60
User from newegg says: True widescreen 16x9 as opposed to other camcorders in same price range simply putting letterbox on top and bottom of screen...MiniDV format is still the best format in my opinion...Probably not so useful outdoors where the LED does not travel far enough to help illuminate the longer exposure...see more
