Hi there! Consider me as n00b in this field. I owned a video8 sony handycam ~10 years back and used it once in a while but that doesn't count. [bold]I need[/bold] to film dance performances/rehersals/lessons. So there's - a lot of movement that should be visible well (-> no smearing), even in slow motion and - sometimes low light (immagine a tango argentino club). Both JVC camcorders I'm talking about have "F1.2 Aspherical Super Bright Lens for High-Quality Images" feature.

[bold]My question:[/bold] Is there a (hopefully cheaper) alternative with similar capablilities at low light conditions? If someone knows a better place (forum) to ask this question, I'd be glad to know. Thanks in advance Cheers tigre
Nevermind. Yesterday I got the DV 4000. Now I have to play with it till I have figured out everything.
