yes they are. prices have dramatically come down for a few years. the key is sensor sizes. the bigger the size, the better the image indoors, unless you operate with lots of lights. unless you are in a studio or have a lighting assistant, that is usually not the case. so, the enemy to all these camcorders is low light. that is measured in terms of lux. a lux of 0 would be ideal but you may not need that. 3 to 5 is enough for a well lit room for great looking HD results. so, look for ones with a sensor at least 1/4", 1/3" then would be even better. more than 1 even better still. but more than 1 at 1/6" does not make it better than just 1 at 1/4". confused? yeah, it's crazy! paul
