Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom …

The other thing that I can't fathom is that none of these minidv camcorders come with the firewire data cable. It seems like including an 8 dollar cable wouldn't be that difficult, Sony afterall bundles the software needed to transfer the video to your PC. All in all this is the best camcorder for the money, I chose this over the Canon ZR900 and I'm glad that I did. It's well build and has all the features that an amateur or professional would want. …

But someone does and they found a really good use for them. What do you think of that eh? Pretty cool. I think I might go ask some neighbors for a case.

Have a great day!

I currently have a Sony Handycam that's about 3 years old and I'm looking for something that is better quality that I can use for personal film projects and perhaps weddings.

I've read that 3CCD eliminated a “jello” effect (Rolling Shutter Effect) that CMOS sensors have with mechanical vibrations… So I'm hoping to find something with that unless my information is out-dated.

Here is what I'm looking for:

- Audio inputs for a condensor mic to be plugged into
- MiniDV (HDV) preferred or Flash based storage
- 3CCD unless better is out there
- Budget < $1000

Please recommend a specific model/brand so I can do more research.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
