That's like apples and oranges. What are you currently in most need of? Recording personal movies, or taking digital pictures?

Don't know if that will factor into your decision or not but while doing research on digital camcorders It was obvious from the reviews and posts that while some of them have the capability to take stills like a camera, the quality of the pictures was poor. I ended up going with the Sony 730 Hi8 digital camcorder and have been very happy with it so far. I also have the Sony Cybershot camera and it has been nothing short of amazing.

I personally don't like the quality of the kodaks that much.. but thats me. I prefer the canon, or olympus... waiting on the new minoltas tho only 7x optical, but uses CF and AA.. something i've been looking for... and has a supposedly better EVF than the 10x opticals from olympus/canon.
