nice 3 ccd video camera

Really enjoy this camera. It's easy to use, makes great video, and loads into my Apple computer's iMovie just fine. Has a firewire (DV) connection in front, though cable not included. You can pick up a six foot 4 pin 6 pin firewire connector for around $7 at any discount computer supply store, so you don't need to pay $29 unless you enjoy the convenience factor. Top loading DV Tapes. Nice little robotic function there, the way it opens and closes. Purchased at ibuydigital.com. I did not experience the problems with the electronic image stabilization as reported by other reviewers. Maybe I have a steady hand. I also like to use a tripod if I'm going to be shooting in the same place and loosen the side to side and up down knobs on the tripod.
