[P9CCd35R]

I know this aint the OTHER HARDWARE section, but since this spot gets the most traffic (and subsequently the most camera-gurus), I'd figure to ask here.


With my baby boy coming in just two months, I realize that my old crummy VHS-based camcorder isn't cutting it anymore. So I need something nice to capture the baby moments with. So I've narrowed it down to two:

I can get this one right now (with extra tapes, a bag, and memory card):
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Canon...oductDetail.do
+ VERY CHEAP
+ Easy to edit videos
+ 60 minutes of recording at decent quality
- It's on DV tape, so not the best protection
- It's only SD resolution (around DVD quality)
- crappy low-light recroding

or this one next month (with only what's in the box, and MAYBE an extra +-RW):
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...oductDetail.do
+ HD (1080i) recording with support for SD format as well
+ 60 minutes of recording with AVC codec (same as Blue-Ray movies)
+ Great Low-light recording
- Super expensive
- Can't edit videos as easily
- SUPER EXPENSIVE
