Slimming Down: 'Camcorder-wise'

I used to think my old camcorders were so amazing. How neat to have a whole TV studio in one's possession.

Yet my current dinosaur is so bulky that it makes actually taking it along on a trip a huge burden. It seldom leaves the shelf.

The collection of old 8-mm tapes were not easy to keep organized. I've tried to run some of them through my capture card in order to burn the stuff on DVD's. After watching satellite TV for a few years and all movies in commercial DVD format, I realize the video output from those tapes sucks!

Now I want a new digital video camera. How come I always have a whole list of items to buy that are over Cnd $1000.00?
