RE: Quality CAMCORDER
I have the Panasonic 120 and I love it. It does okay indoors. It really shines outdoors! The problem with these tiny digicams is trying to hold steady. I taped the freestyles at the Tucson shootout on Saturday, then went back to the hotel to watch them. SHAKEY! So on Sunday I attached the tripod but left the legs collapsed. I let two legs hang down and rested the third leg on my shoulder and shot the video looking through the veiwfinder. Awesome! A poor man's steadycam! My friends think the video I shot is better than some of the propwash tapes. It's not the best camera in low light though.
I'm going to experiment with a weight screwed into the tripod mount just to help stop the shakes.
