Taj -
I just recently bought a Sony model that records directly to an internal hard drive. I wanted to avoid having any insertable media that would limit my recording time. I consider myself a careful shopper, but it is so difficult with a consumer item like this because prices drop quickly while features improve continuously - you just have to take the plunge. I tried to comb through both online and print reviews of cameras but they were all so out-of-date that they really weren't helpful. My advice with anything like an iPod, computer or other electronic item is to simply by the best/biggest/fastest that you can afford. Try them out and check the usability of the zoom and other controls. Check out pcmag.com and cnet.com for reviews. Check out options that are available that might make the difference in your purchase, like external lights, mics, and remote controls. Finally you might also consider the purchase of a tripod meant for video cameras to allow smooth pan and tilt functions during filming. Whew! Good luck and feel free to email me direct at
