[Uh-uh, nope, won't say anything! I WILL RESIST (hard

as this is!). Yes, mum's the word! No comment. Yup, not

a word (ever so tempting as it is to blast away...!),

but I won't...! A b s o l u t e s i l e n c e

(from this quarter. . .!!!) ;-]

Well, I will toss this in, anyway: for a notch up,

look at the Sony VX2000/PD150, Panasonic DVX100,

JVC DV-GY300, and Canon's own GL2; for a couple of

notches up, check out the various Sony, JVC, and

Panasonic (not the "el cheapos", which bury the old

EZ30U/950 compact camera in a shoulder-mount

body) shoulder-mount models. With enough money,

though, the "low-end" D50 and HD models (and maybe

top-end BetaSP) are more interesting...

'Pends onna what ya wan' it fer, how ya wanna uz it,

an' how much money ya hav t' spend onna it...;-)
