dont get carried away with expensive cams. no matter what you think, they will get trashed. no matter what people say, there is no difference in quality if you are using a camcorder. the video signal is the video signal. some work a little better in low light but it all doesn't matter - its easy to add more light to the room for $10.00
save your money, buy ANY cheap camcorders and go from there. dont buy 1500-2000 sony/canon cams with the remote control base, just to have the remote controls get broken or lost immediately, the bases get broken etc etc etc. always better to start as cheaply as possible and learn the lessons than to spend a lot of money and lose it all learning the same lessons.
