Video camera. I want one.

so here is the camcorder I am looking at getting. Sony has had a reputation with me and my family for building nice, long lasting equipment. ( I can't count how many times I've dropped my cd player and it survived.) So far I have been content to rely on other's electronics to capture my memories... but now *Sigh* its time to relinquish some cash, and buy something of my own. irritatingly enough, I discovered that most camcorders are either really priceY (well, okay pricey for me) or pretty dinky. Maybe I should just save up. But I probably won't. I have so many ideas bouncing around in my head, if I don't do something about them, I'll explode.
