Best Digital Camcorder?
I'm torn between two : SONY Z1U and CANON XL2.

I'm also interested in technology obsolescence being figured into what makes the best camcorder. I'd like to know I'm buying one that will remain technologically competitive for the next few years.

What you reckon?

I'm just looking at this on ebay and comparing it to my other choices. Looks very nice. Comparing specs.

I'm glad you posted. I didn't know anything about P2 and DVC. Have just looked here on wiki for a bit of background : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2_(storage_media)

Sounds excellent. Thanks!

Sony DCR-DVD405E DVD Camcorder is an excellent choice ... from UK, or below, from the US:

I'm also looking for advice, I need a HD camcorder that's not too heavy but that offers all the qualities of the big ones ... 3 chips por favor and it should be good in low lighted enviroments.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh and Kristian don't mean to be hijacking your thread just figured we could be looking together .... if you decide on anything please lemme know

Not sure where you get your hd info from. Second time this week Ive seen you post something weird about HD related questions.

we use sony vx2000's and are very happy with them. They're relatively lightweight and wonderful in low-lighting. No 24p though
