So my brother and his wife are having a baby (well, his wife is having the baby ... I guess he'll be standing there ) in January, so my parents, my wife, and I are going to split the cost of getting them a DV camera for Christmas. We're looking in the $500-$1000 range. Anyone have any recommendations on brands/models or know of some reliable, objective review sites? One that I've looked at so far that looks pretty good is the Canon Optura 200MC ...
