I am also in the market for a video camera so I would love to hear what folks have to say. I have been looking at the Flip cameras, but I am a little concerned about zoomability and sound. Any and all comments would be great. Sorry PeeVee for hijacking thread...

I'm using a Cannon FS 300, I believe its called. Its far from perfect but has been getting me by for now.

It doesn't zoom in or out as much as I would like and doesn't gather light very well in low light conditions, but its less than three hundred bucks, is small and compact and pretty easy to use.

I edit using imovie on my imac and upload directly to youtube for any movie under ten minutes in length. Over ten minutes goes to itunes then I upload using google (youtube).

JP and Schawee, Thanks a bunch. I'll certainly go on recommends from such professionals as you. :-D :-D

I have a triple removal I'm planning for next weekend.

Gotta gear up!

Might wanna pm hardwood as to his camera. I know it has zoom capacity out the yin yang and great picture quality. He bought it pretty cheap too.

No need for the pm...I use a Sony DCR-SX41 and really like it. I got it cheap (under $200) because it was both a close out @ H.H.Gregg and a demo.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
