Do any of you have experince with digital camcorders? I'm considering one for my upcoming trip to Paris this fall and I want to hear some feedback.
Specifically, I want to know if any of you have traveled with one: was it too cumbersome & bulky? Was it worth it when you got home (i.e. did you get shots that you normally couldn't have taken with a point-n-shoot like panoramic shots?)? If you went overseas, did you have any problems with charging batteries, memory problems, etc.? Furthermore, if you have one--can you recommend a brand and accessories?
I have one in mind, and since these have come down in price I can always hold out for another one. I don't want to buy the one that's going on sale next week and end up with something cheap and that I shouldn't have purchased. Thanks for any advice!
