I want film in HD but I think the next generation of Cams will be a lot better! My old JVC makes also good movies. for example (5 years old JVC DV Cam)

Canon? I like Panasonic or JVC! My actual DV Cam is a JVC! Look the clip I posted. My old cam is great for a DV Cam.

Andy, I think, for myself, Canon is very good quality firma, Sony is too, but need more many for a his name. JVS I think is no so good as another, Panaconic is still ok, but......... I advince you Canon or Sony, I know is it a little expensive, but Quality a really cool. I compared on quality of Panasonic and Cаnon, Cаnon wins in many respects, I can't all write but under all characteristics, Panasonic lags behind development a little. Sony аsk prices out for the name, but on quality they aren't worse than Cаnon. Buy the Canon and Panasonic, try them, anyway you can to send in 2 weeks over always back, just compare quality in all modes, after you will see that better, the main thing don't hurry up with a choice...

Any HD camera you get is going to work well. Whether it be Canon, Panasonic, Sony, JVC, doesn't matter. You just need to find a camera that suits what you want. Quality zoom, external mic output, DV vs memory card, size (if you're going to stealth a lot), ability to change settings like exposure WHILE filming, etc.

Personally, w/ many of the newer HD cameras still being only 10-12x zoom, you may be better off waiting for the next generation to come out, or buy an HD cam that's a few years old. I use a Canon HV20 that's a few years old, but it still works great. But like I said, any HD cam you buy by those 4 brands are going to be great. My biggest advice is to find a camera w/ an external mic output, unless you're going to record seperate audio. I can't stand to see a great quality video w/ shitty ass audio. Most internal mics aren't good. If you have any questions you think I can help with, PM me.

Also, any legit camcorder is going to feel heavy after a while. If you aren't willing to deal w/ that, you're probably better off w/ getting an HD Digicam. Panasonic Lumix seem to be thing lately. I have a Lumix ZS10 and like it.
