I bought the Panasonic SD5 camcorder in Dec. 2007.
In wind on sand dunes, it finally died Aug. 2010. … R.I.P.
Replacement?
I want as few moving parts as possible. Both video and photo. Quality of image not critical as it will be posted online. Low light video would be a HUGE selling point.
Just starting to research the low cost high definition camcorders, like the Samsung F40 Ultra Zoom.
Leave a comment if you have advice. It needs to work with iMovie on the Mac. (CMOS-based image stability systems are problematic.)
… I’m also considering trying a Nano iPod for video.

If not for your need for low-light capability, you would be an ideal user of the phenomenal Flip. But the one thing that camera is just no good at is low-light videography.
