ok i want a good mini dv cam for capturing skiing and skateboarding. my dad can use it for alot of his church stuff and other projects. anyway im looking for a high quality but not professional minidv thats small but still great quality. im looking at the canon optura 300 which looks really awesome and i found it online for $665 and its a $1000 camera. anyway do any of you know anything about this camera or any other good ones for thta stuff? i was looking at the gl-2 but it's too expensive and from the looks of it quite large. your help would be greatly appreciated

Yes I would recommend a Sony TRV series. I had the TRV11 and it worked great. It was a little less than a grand but that was 2 years ago, probably a good deal cheaper now.

If you meant the Canon Optura Xi (not si) then I would definately recommend it. Just make sure you leave money for accessories like a fisheye and wide angle.

Yeah - I got my GL1 on eBay and I love it. Definately have a look around for a used GL1, GL1, VX1000 or VX2000. If you're serious about this then you'll want to upgrade to something like this eventually anyway, and I'm pretty sure all 4 have full-auto modes so you can use all the features as and when you learn them and get better.
