So I have a kid now, and I don't wanna lose his little monkey snorts forever.. So I now have a need for a video camera.

I was looking at the JVC Everio GZ-HD3 at a store here, selling for $1,399. I'm sure if I shop around I can get it for cheaper.. But is that the way to go? It has a 120gb HD in it.

I used to have a Canon GL-1, loved it. Had to give it up when I dismantled a business some years back. I wonder how this "HD" one would compare to a good semi-pro camera like a GL-1?

Again, it's just for family use, I don't have plans to attach a speculum and go anal diving or anything...

Is it wise to get a camera with a hard drive, versus using miniDV tapes? Any disadvantages?

Here is the HD3
