Buy philosophy is to get the best I can for the money which in this case is $500 ($400 much better)...
Don't need lots of "features" per se, just good, useable functionality and a sharp, clear picture. Camera will be primarily used for filming family activities (kids swinging from the chandeliers, etc)... including about 50% outdoor activities.
I want to easily be able to store the movies in some digital media format that will be around for a while (assuming DVD here) and not some obscure company specific storage medium that will be "out of date" soon...
Please help. Any suggestions are appreciated...
