You may want to check out the mini-DV camcorder reviews
on my web site (under "I babble"...;-) - there are
frame-grabs, descriptions of sound characteristics,
descriptions of motion-video characteristics, and
more! ;-) Included are the 3-chip Canon GL-1 and XL-1,
TRV-900, the Sony VX-1000 and TRV-900, and the
Panasonic AG-EZ30U, among others... My opinion: I
still prefer the VX-1000 over all others, but I also
like the EZ30U and TRV-900. (Newer does not
necessarily mean better...)
