Suggest a good, cost-efficient camcorder please!

[PamJazz]

Hi guys, can you recommend a good, cost-efficient camcorder please? I want to buy one very soon. I've been meaning to buy a Sony Handycam (which is like a very common choice) but I also want to welcome other options.

Any tips?

Sony’s HDR-HC7 was considered one of the top consumer camcorders last year. I guess, it's worth it if you buy one. But, if you want to consider other brands, i suggest Panasonic's HDC-DX1 Camcorder. It's cost-effective. It has a lot of good features such as good OIS system, 12x optical zoom lens, 5.1 channel Dolby digital built-in microphone, advanced pure color engine, ability to record and play DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL (Dual Layer), DVD-R discs and SD/SDHC Memory Card. The price ranges from $449.95 - $854.99. It's quite saving don't you think?
