DH and I are going shopping today for a new camcorder. We want to have one for the hospital (no filming of the birth) and then of course to capture all the firsts over the next year. Which do you recommend, or not?

Re: What camcorders do you love/hate
We got this about a month ago and love it.

I got the Sony HDR-SR1 for my highschool graduation back in 07. I LOVE it! it takes videos in both standard and hi def. it also takes WONDERFUL still pictures.
its easy to figure out and work, the only problem is you have to have the cd that comes with it to transfer the videos from camera to computer. (you can bypass this by burning straight from camera to dvd)
there are newer models now, but here is the review for the SR1

I just bought this one for DH bday (ok, it's a share gift...)

We've done some test runs on it and its great. If you go for an HD camcorder, make sure you pick up an HDMI cable to connect to your HD TV (if you so desire)
