Cameras & Camcorders

[murray749]

I was in the store today and asked a couple sales reps, each giving me their opinions that personally didn't sound like "educated" opinions.  I want a hard drive camcorder with 60 GB and that is the "best" meeting that criteria.  Should I look at Canon's, Panasonics, JVC, or Sony???  I want it to be super easy to use with ease of DVD creating as well.  Battery life should be good also.  Vista compatible a must.  I would appreciate any "educated" opinions that I can get.  Thank you..
