Great DVD Camcorder, BUT!!!

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2004

Excellent DVD Camcorder

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a small, stylish DVD cam, look no further.
Review: My wife and I were going to take our first vacation in a long while. We decided to go to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and I didn't want to forget this trip so we decided to buy a DVD camcorder.

After researching numerous camcorders...
