I think this is the best you can do without going into the prosumer +$2000 level. Here is what sets it apart from the average cheap camcorder:
1. The ability to shoot progressive frames. This is invaluable for those filming for the internet. Plus, progressive frames compress better; one of the reasons store bought movies look better than average joe's.
2. The ability to white balance. Especially with blue/green screening, this is very helpful. Good luck finding it on the average consumer camcorder.
3. Native 1920x1080 sensor times 3. This camera is not FakeD - it's real HD. When it scales, it scales DOWN, not up. It has three sensors for each primary color of light, and the sensors are larger than the Panasonic DVX100's ... Read More:

I used this camera for two weeks on vacation. The Hi Def Video is amazing. However, the controls on the rear of the camera are cramped and for me I would of preferred the start/stop to be switched from the Function/Menu control. Otherwise, if you like to have creative control and can live with the fact that DV tape is on it's last leg this camera is a great value for the money.

I bought this camera for filming my 1 year old boy. It is a great camera and it does a good job and is very easy to use. I don't like the amount of gain added to the video when shooting in low light. Although I love the 10x optical zoom (big fan of zoom) it causes a lot of problems when you need wide angle footage or you are in tight spaces. You need to be around 7-10' away to be able to get people standing on the film. A wide angle lens helps this a lot.
A few tips for people looking at this camera:
1) Buy larger spare battery
2) Do not switch tape brands, I use Sony but if you buy a brand of tapes, stick with them, or you can damage the camera
3) Buy the WD-H43 wide angle lens (expensive, but worth it!) ... Read More:

Hey man, are you upset about the price match or the fact the camera isnt the best quality. Why would you want them to price match if you dont want the camera? Why dont you just return it? Or why dont you just stop whinning?

I bought this item from Amazon for $686 on Oct. 30, It was delivered to me on Nov. 7th. After I rcvd the product, Amazon had already dropped the price. I was too buys to call and ask them about the price guaratntee. Apparantly there price guarantee is only for 7 days (the time it takes to receive the producct). I am very upset that the product has dropped in price by $90 in 24 days. I would not buy this product. At this rate, amazon will be giving these away for free pretty soon. It is a lousy camera. Very bad low light pictures, too noisy and the menu system on the camera requires a PHD in engineering.
