A good camera, if you shoot in well-lit areas

There are things I like about the PV-DV950, and things I don't like so much about this camera.

GREAT CAMCORDER.

I've had my PV-DV950 for one year (since late-2000) and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. The image and audio quality is great. Easy to use. 5 AE settings and also very flexible in manual mode.

3-CCD. Great quality videos.

Electronic Image Stabilization (Optical is better). Expensive.
