Was looking to replace my 9 yr old JVC miniDV camcorder. I've been using my Samsung S850's 720x480 20fps often as its in the pocket or bag or use my wife's Sony 640x480 30fps capability... The Sony can't change zoom while recording though. Last time I used the miniDV it shows I need a head cleaning, and considering age I better transfer all to digital I'm thinking.
While I'm asking- does the lens take add-ons well?- on the JVC I use that .42X all the time. For outdoors and sports I take it off, but indoors the wide angle with running toddlers is required or to take room shots without having to move the camera- ex. Christmas. It has 20X optical and the limit to 64X Digital is good, forget about the 64-400X though.
I see it has to 100X digital what would you put the limit at for decent/ok quality- hoping maybe 40X? and if I use a 2X add-on get it to 20X optically and 80X ok- thoughts?
Plus I have 2 extra 8GB SDHC cards sitting in my GPS case- I use a 16GB in it and haven't needed to really use the 8GB.
