Peter, It was a surprising experience when I first saw a piece of video taken by a friend of mine using a cheap Canon S2 digital camera. Now I use the newer Canon S3 digital camera for video recording and completely abandoning my Sony TRV900 - the famous prosumer 3-CCD DV camcorder, which cost me $2500 in the year 2000. The Canon S3 is street-priced about $300 with 12x optical zoom and image stabilizer. It can take full advantage of the zoom for unlimited video recording as your SD card space allows. The Canon S3 video is quite bandwidth demanding and consuming 2 Mbyte/second. And the video quality is impressive if not as good as UNCOMPRESSED HDTV files. I'll upload some file for demo when I get time. By the way, there are also camcorders that do not use DV tapes, but rather using SD cards. However, that blurs the boundary of digital camcorder and digital camera since each can do the other. Tech101
