I have a chance to buy a DV-852 for $600.00. Should I get this over the trv-38 and optura 20? Please answer ASAP as i do not want to miss this deal.

Thanks,
Thomas

Go with the Panasonic PV-DV852. It is a fantastic cam, including an optical image stabilizer. The other 2 don't have this, nor are they as solid. The DV852 was the best 1 chip around, along with the Optura 100MC.

Take my word for it. For $600 US, just grab it.

There's been lots written about it on the MX forum and dv.com's camera forum---lots of opinions there.
