The Canon ZR60 seems like it is hitting the sweet spot for affordable digital camcorders.
My Sony TRV22 arrived yesterday and it works like a champ. I like it because it has touch screen controls, so I can bury the camcorder in the foam in my pelican case with only the video screen showing, and still have access to the controls. Not sure if it was really worth the extra $200 bucks, but I try not to stop and think about it too much
