I am with AMN when it comes to Sony (for now)

they have gone down hill cause I think they got cocky. But I think once they are down in the dumps, they'll go back up again. It happens in cycles especially when it comes to electronics.

Of course, since I was told that I go on and on and on and on and on...LMAO...

I was just going to say that firewires are safe, fast, transfers bits more accurately. But USB 2.0 compatible are just as good (although folks on both side will argue)

mac prefers fire ports anyways...but this isn't about Mac...LOL

what software you choose to edit after you've download the vids will probably matter more and that's what happens to most people. So do spare youself those "extras" up sales whenever you go buy them

I would go to a brick and motar store, hold one in your hand play with it. Try to play with it without the sales person being there to give you pressure. But then come back on the internet and do a search on line. If they have it at amazon or buy.com I am almost willing to bet that it will be cheaper for the same exact model...

anyways, just my 4000.00 bucks thoughts. LOL
