i hope your prepared to spend the money. if your buying your first cam you dont need to go way high end. just a suggestion. Check out panasonic too by the way.

if this is your first camera def buy something cheaper to start out on. I have a sony handycam mini-DV with a wide angle lense that cost me $350. It takes quality video, check out the vids in ecski73 's profile

my first camera was a GL2. and Panasonic makes the best video cameras, and I have facts to back that up.

I reccomend a Sony TRV900. its a very good 3CCD cam and is good for starting out.
