Surprise, surprise. Camcorder Info just named their favs for this year, and the best of the best happens to be the Canon Elura 100, a miniDV camera that costs under $400.
Amazing, considering its company had HDD storage systems, HD resolution, and price tags over $4000. How did this happen?
It trumped every challenger, either by virtue of its performance, features, or value.Excellent. Congratulations to the camera that Caminfo calls the pinnacle of the 10-year old miniDV tech. I still want a more expensive one though, filled with bleeding edge experimental tech that is likely to crap out as I fire it up. Sorry.

bigger bucks doesn't always mean better goods. See PS3 for details.
My dad's MiniDV Cam is the first MiniDV that Sony ever made, making it about 10 years old. It still runs beautifully. The only problem I have with them is the ridiculous price of MiniDV decks. It's so much easier to edit on a deck, than to have to connect it over FireWire. Oh well. Those were my two cents.
We picked up the Panasonic GS-500 a few months ago. I personally feel, it's a much better camera then that Canon.
I bought this camera a couple months ago. Now I feel validated. Thank you Gizmodo.
Well... i think that they should award products that put something new, somthing that makes the product unique in some way.
I never liked awards, that would say: 'it's cheap, it works ok'.
Make a different category for that kind of stuff.
Hmmmmmmmm, it has a HDD huh and a large screen. Hmmmmmmmmm can you say PMP, if some hacker could hack this cheap camcorder in to a PMP that would be sweet.
Does it have that cool way to use night vision to get a grainy, sort-of-naked shot through a girl's shirt?
If not, how on earth can they say it's the best?
