hi scott,

thank you for the links.
after reading the reviews on the sony DCRHC40 and DVD201, the majority of
people that reviewed these models had a complaint about the noise that the
camcorder makes while recording and that it is picked up on the tape. i will
review other models on the site.

this site is very helpful. thank you.

: example, check out some of these cameras that fit your needs. There
: are reviews for many of these cameras (go to the Camcorders section)

: you live in WA):
:
: 1) This one's a mini-DV:
: Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder (about $520)

:
: 3) Canon ZR-80 Mini DV
: http://camcorders.review-center.com/catalog/product.php?ASIN=B0001ANT9S
