I have three that I'm looking at right now but I'm definatly still open to suggestions. They are:

JVC GR-DVM76 - $399
JVC GR-DV500 - $469
Sony DCR-TRV19 - $442

Right now I'm leaning toward the DV500 because it has the 1/4" CCD which I would think means that it has better picture quality. I just started doing my research yesterday and I havn't actually used any cam at all so I'm not sure what is best. I'm mainly going to be using this cam for taking video's of cars, i'm in car sales, but I also want to use it for basic home video's. If one camera is better at getting video's on a computer then it will probably be the winner. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. There was a similar thread about a month ago but no clear answers were given. Thanks.
