Sony HDR-CX700V HD video camera
« on: February 01, 2012, 05:16:48 PM »

I'm considering getting one.  Best price found so far is $900:

Does anyone know where a better price might be found?  Also, any other makes/models I should look at? 

Thanks.

At that price I was going to say "Get a DSLR that does video", but this one appears to have pretty good specs.  Tiny sensor, but the full-time autofocus which a DSLR won't have probably makes up for it.  It's going to have great low-light performance as well.  I did some googling and its max aperture is 1.8-3.4, very good!
