I remember when I first bought my first digital camera, my husband wasn’t really convinced that it was anything special. However, after using our Sony camera for awhile, he was really happy that I had splurged for it. Now that we are looking at the best HD cameras for filming, we are looking at the same brand. We have had really good battery life with our camera and hope that the video cameras has that same feature. It makes using it a whole lot more convenient. We’ll have to look into it a bit more to determine which choice to go with.
