Sorry for not replying sooner, to many parties I think.
The thread seems to have moved on from small hand held cam corders, on to TV cameras.
Any how I've been using the Panasonic NV-GS27. I've had it just over a year, and as long as it is on a tripod it's fine for what I use it for. The 30x optical zoom is excellent and as others have said using the 1000x digital zoom is a waste of time. My only real negative point is that the manual focus is a little tricky, small buttons and cold or gloved hands don't mix i've found. I haven't used any other camcorders but this one does what I want it to do. The three water vole vids are in the mammal forums somewhere and I have several hours worth at home.
Hope this helps someone.

BWD
