Hi Craig,

The 12 minute record limit is not due to the 4gb file size but it was Canon's choice in order to save on taxes and duty fees. The HMC150 has a 4gb file size limit as well, but when it reaches the 4gb...

Hi Craig,

I agree with you on the HMC150 being the best choice within Mickey's criteria and I also agree about the DSLRs are better in low light, with fast lenses. What I don't understand is what...

Hi Amanda,

You have already been given some good advice. I will add this. Since you are considering the HMC80, I would allow just a little more money and get the HMC150. I have seen used HMC150s...

I totally agree with Joel on the Tokina 11-16. It's a wonderful lens. The 70-200 f/4 is a weak link for darker ceremonies, so it just depends on your lighting conditions. Think of it this way,...
