I don't have much to say except that the PV-DV953 is a darn nice cam. No, it's not good in "low light," and doesn't have XLR's. But most everything else about it is sweet---and there's not too much else as great as this small 3 chip hand-held, and this price range. So go check it out, to see for yourself. Would I sell my MX300 for a PV-DV953? Yes I would. Why? Because I'd rather have a MX5000 today than spend a year's salary on something that'll be obsolete tomorrow. Let's see how long it'll take to reach the 300 mark. July? Place your bets now!
