Any information on new hdtv camcorders for the novice film maker (vacations,
etc.)?

But you get what you pay for. I've had the camera for a year and once you
get the hang of using it the video is far superior standard DV footage. The
camera works more like a film camera than a video camera. There will be
more cameras entering into the market next year and of course over time the
prices will be coming down and in a few years we might even see them at less
than $1000.
