I did an on-line check and all the retailers
carrying it for under $1100 are those I would
not feel comfortable dealing with.

Seems like PC MAGAZINE overshot the retail price
on this one (they listed it at $900), but at a
average $1100-$1200 pricetag this is sort of an
expensive investment.

Since I am waiting till the end of the Summer to
buy, I am hoping the price will come down to below
$1,000.

Ron,

It looks like the DV-953 is being discontinued. And its replacement is the GS-400. They are discussing it on Camecorderinfo.com : http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/t69467.html

The specs look pretty impressive, and so is the speculated MSRP of $1499. So I'm guessing that the price on the DV-953 should continue to drop. Now I just need to find a reliable e-tailer.

I own a tv and dvd player made by Panasonic and am very happy, but I would go with Sony for a camcorder.


I couldn't agree more. I'm so very happy with my Panny XP30 DVD player. It's awesome. I love Panasonic gadgets, but their optical departments is not up to standard. I've researched nothing but bad with their digital cameras (still cams) and while their camcorders have nifty features for a fair price, from my experience and research they're a little under the cut. If you're looking for quality skip Panasonic. It breaks my heart to say that (really it does, I like Panny). I won't comment on their higher end ($1,000+) cams, as I don't know much about them, but they look nice.

I purchased a Sony TRV22 last year. I paid roughtly $650 after shipping. I'm happy with the performance of it but am finding out that I'm not using the camcorder all that much. I use my still cam much more often. I'm selling the cam and all the accessories that came with it if anyone is interested.

Mr. JBL has made my first home theater possible.
