    HDV: look at Sony HC-1 or HC-3

    You don't seem to be looking for true Prosumer which would require tripod and lights, etc. Panasonic is lacking a small HDV.

    HD is the way to go..I love my camcorder but it really falls flat on the new HDTV's. Check this one out:

    There is a review comparing it to the Sony HD camcorder as well.

    for under 3000 and HD .... Sony.
    if looking for prosumer, then Canon, Sony or Panasonic, but not HD.

    I have a GL-2 and love it. I would love a HD, but that goes around 4000..too much for me.
