… 80x and 700x zoom. Whats the difference between digital and optical zoom? Are there any HD camcorders that you would recommend. I would like it to be able to capture beautiful pictures/video and record clear sound. Price limit is around 1,000$ (U.S.). I can go a little over the limit if necessary.

I realize it will record in HD, but if I don’t have a Blu-Ray or HD DVD burner, will I ever be able to share my videos with others in HD format? Also even if i do have that the people watching the video need to have the blu-ray or HD DVD player, correct???

My grandfather is not well and I want to get his fantastic stories recorded on camcorder so that my kids (to be) can see him and hear how wonderful he is. My wedding is also coming up this Summer.
Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I want to get the best sub 2000 (Canadian dollars) HD camcorder within 30 days and with the technology being so new I am having a hard time debating the pros and cons.
My wishlist:
- low light HD recording
- accessory shoe for adding a better microphone (i.e. shotgun)
- It seems HDV is still the best option because HDD has lesser quality video (?)
- I am not so sure about AVCHD because I am not confident that a camcorder with that technology will be able to get updated (firmware) well enough to keep up with the growth of this promising technology (?). Right now I understand it is so-so.
- Must have true 16:9 aspect
- low noise
So the question. If you HAD to buy one today what would you buy?
AND, what if you waited 1mo?

I’m trying to transfer the SDHC card to my computer but there’s no plug to it. Does anyone know how to transfer my videos?
Thanks in advance.
