Buying a New Camcorder

[Timse1981]

can you help as I have decided after much delberation to purchase a new digital camcorder. I have done a list of features that are must haves for my new camcorder and a wishlist list of features if the price is correct. This is attached to this post.

I have narrowed down my search to the following:

Panasonic NVGS150;
Panasonic NVGS200;
Panasonic NVGS250;
Panasonic NVGS400.

I would appreciate some advice on which camcorder to buy.

Thank you very much.

I have also looked at these and consider the NVGS250 to be best of your list. However I ewnt for a Sony DCR-hc90.

Thanks, but I have decided that I would like a camcorder with 3 CCDs.

If you look at the reviews 3 ccds are not always better than one, could also multiply the ccd failier rate by thee. However of your 3 ccd list the 250 is probably the best bet as the 400 is a bit bigger and heavier. I went to my local Jessops to get a feel for them.

Thanks for the advice.
