I have heard the same thing about the DVD camcorders so I was thinking about a miniDV.  You are happy with your Canon (do you have a model number?  There are so many to choose from ZR, Elura, Optura!) but the battery doesn't last very long?  I have a Canon digital camera I have had maybe 4 or 5 years and it's great except for the battery life.  By the time you get a warning the battery is low, it dies!

JoLynda, thanks, I will do some research on your Samsung!
