Panasonic AG-DVX100B Mini DV Camcorder

The good: Great sound, progressive modes, and image control; professional-caliber viewfinder and controls; wide lens; particularly well suited for multicamera projects.

The bad: No high-definition capability; no 16:9-native chips; lens is short for some applications; moderately steep learning curve.

The bottom line: Panasonic has listened. The third incarnation of the AG-DVX100 offers unrivalled bang for the buck in a prosumer standard-definition MiniDV camera.
