Attention Digital Camcorder Gurus!! Advice Needed!!!

[BlamoHammer]

I am looking into purchasing a new digital camcorder and I've narrowed it down to two choices: the Sony TRV-19 and the Canon ZR60. Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice as to which is the better camcorder and why? My use is simple home video creation and I would like a camcorder that is good at all around video, no need for advanced features. I would like good performance in low light however. Thanks for any help that you guys are able to provide!!

about $450-550 bucks

For that budget any sony that you can get would be a good choice (I hate recommending models.. they change every three months or so.. there's like 50 Canon ZR cameras that are basically the same).. Canons SUCK at the price range.. Panasonics are decent, JVCS suck, SONY is uniformly good across the line..

I have a panasonic dv851 and I like it although shooting in dark situations with it can suck.

As of now, its 3-3-3. Much help, huh? You need a results option BTW.

If you need low-light, I would go with the sony.
