I have a Small Sony Mini DV.. Its great cuz its Small, i can put it in my pocket.. But i would like something with a better optical zoom... Mine only has 10X.. I would get something with at least 20 Optical if I were you.. The digital zoom is worthless, so don't bother even looking at that when your purchasing a camera.

I paid 800 for mine, but they sure have come down in price..
