I'm looking to buy one of these tiny, palm sized HD video cameras. Which ones would you recommend? Any particular ones you would advise to stay away from? Which ones have good picture even in non perfect lighting conditions. I know Sony are notorious for having clear picture outdoors on a sunny day but grainy as all fuck when you take it inside. I made a mistake of buying one a few years back. It was a waste of money. I bought GL2 afterwards which was a complete opposite. Nice crisp picture with vivid colors even if lighting conditions are not perfect.
However even though it's a great camera, I'm done carrying it around on my travels. I need a tiny one, preferably HD. What's a good way to go? Did Sony get their shit straight and have glass that works in lower light as well?
What's the best format to go for nowadays? Are Mini DV tapes obsolete now? Should I be looking for the cam that records on DVD discs, or is one with a hard drive the best way to go?
Thanks for any help
