Hi all,
anyone had experience with and/or have any thoughts about this MiniDV Cam for beginners like me??

http://www.sony.co.nz/products/product.asp?ssid=1171188352

(was looking at a Canon MV830i but when I compared price / features the Sony wins out)

The price on that website is RRP, but I can get it for $780.00NZD

cheers and regards
Rossco
